The last time I did this was when I was 14 years old and here I am in my 30s attempting it again.
This weekend I’m taking part in the 40 Hour Famine – I’m going without for those without.
If you’d like to donate, please donate directly (and anonymously if you prefer) by going to the secure donations part of the 40 Hour Famine website – https://www.famine.org.nz/donate/cause
I hope you’ll support this worthy cause.
The 40 Hour Famine starts at 8pm on Friday and goes through until Noon Sunday… it’s gonna be tough, coz I love my food!
So follow me on Twitter this weekend and I’d love it if you would join me in the challenge… it’s not just for school kids ya know!
Phil

ouch, that’s going to be painful!
I haven’t joined a team… just helping raise awareness and encouraging people to donate money. 🙂
Bought my Barley Sugars last night!
