Roving Latrine Raises Money for Cancer

WHITEHOUSE, Ohio - Residents are throwing money down the toilet - and feeling good about it.
A bright pink potty with artificial flowers sprouting from the bowl is being placed in yards in and around this northwest Ohio city as a way to raise money for cancer research.
The roving latrine belongs to a team of 15 people competing in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. They move the toilet after dark, parking it in yards along with a sign that says "Help flush out cancer."
A note instructs residents to leave a check in the tank along with the address where they would like to see the toilet taken.
"The toilet is really quite ugly, but almost everybody has been really nice about it," said team member Carolyn Strayer.
The team has raised about $800 with the stunt.
Whitehouse is 15 miles southwest of Toledo.
