I remember doing the 30-Hour Famine back in junior high. It was tons of fun – we stayed at the school throughout the 30 hours, playing in the gym, running through the halls, and generally having a good time. After it was all done, we held a big buffet for everyone to gorge on, and I remember it containing a lot of pizza.
I haven’t given much thought to the event since that time, but I was recently reminded of it by Darren Barefoot. He’s taking up the challenge on April 1st and 2nd, and he’s looking to raise $1000 by the end of the month:
Seeing as the last time I tried fasting I caved after about 15 hours, this should at least be good for some entertainment. I’ll take whatever you got. Five bucks. Great. Fifty bucks? That’s great too. You Americans can give money too—we’re an equal opportunity website around here, and your money goes farther north of the border. I’m probably going to go on about this thing a fair bit over the next two weeks. Indulge me—it’s for a good cause.
It’s a great cause, so stop by and help him out! At the very least, wish him luck 🙂
I remember all throughout High School, I helped organize and I participated in the 30-Hour Famine..its not that easy..but its definitely worth the cause. Good Luck to you Darren, and just remember the pizza in the end and HOW good its gonna be.
30 hours is easy, I’d be sleeping for 16 hours of it after finals week haha
