40 Hour Famine - thanks!

Phew! I did it!

With a certain sense of a achievement, I completed the 40 Hour Famine from after dinner last Wednesday night through to lunchtime Friday.

Going without food for 40 Hours is really hard. Thursday night in particular was a tough time. Friday morning felt like the home straight and therefore a bit more manageable.

I am really stoked that so many of my friends and friends-of-friends got behind me and our campaign to fight the Global Food Crisis.

Thank you to those of you who have supported me!

Some people might think that since it's my job to work at World Vision that I should do the Famine out of obligation for work. But I don't think that's the case.

I have been personally really inspired by the great stories of people doing the 40 Hour Famine across Australia. Check out the VGen Blog for some of the best ones...

One of the best ones I've heard just today was about an Australian Chef, based at Mawson Station in Antartica
who competed in the 40 Hour Famine over the weekend.
AMAZING! Check it our here.

Congrats on doing the 40 hour famine. I'm sure that was difficult. it's crazy to think there are people out there who live like that.
