Students from DCU in Dublin are setting out today to take part in 'Beg Borrow Steal'
The idea behind it is students must get to a certain location but without any funds
This year, participants have to travel to Rome via mystery checkpoints simply relying on the kindness of others!
Over 100 teams took part last year, raising e50,000 for Charity
This year, 5 teams from the South East are taking on the challenge
One of those is made up of Brandon Polly & Jack Willoghby from Gorey
They tell Beat news about the reaction they've been getting.
"Ya I brought the sponsorship card into work and I tried to get people to sign it and everyone was really positive.
They thought the idea was really good and it was a fun way to raise money.
Everyone we've spoke to has said that it's going to be tough, half way across Europe to Rome with no meoney.
It's going to be tough but it'll be a fun challenge"
And how can people watch how they're getting on?
"We have a twitter account, it's called from 'From Home to Rome'.
As well as that we're setting up a snapchat account so we'll be snapchatting everything we're doing from begging for money to trying to get flights everywhere so absolutely everything will be documented on snapchat.
The DCU media production society will be doing a broadcast of it so there's a couple of teams selected and they'll be documenting their porgress along the way"
