Remember Happy Gilmore’s happy place: beer, a scantily clad blond woman and Grandma winning the jackpot? Even if your happy place is slightly different, you deserve the chance to escape to it. Certified massage therapist Troy Goings is holding the Massaging for Medicine event in an effort to raise $10,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. He will be giving 10-minute chair massages to anyone who makes a donation. There’s no excuse for not showing up to the 20-hour event. And no, the time is not a typo. Goings is trying to make it into the Guinness World Records by massaging for 20-hours straight. I’d go just to see how he manages to stay on his feet all day and prevent his hands from going numb. Man, he’s going to need a massage at the end of the endeavor.
