lol~ there's absolutely NO health problem.. hahah~
its only 30 hours.. and its a committment We go through the pain of hunger for only 30 hours while realizing that there are so many children.. even youger than us... who go without food for more than 30 hours... and to them... its not a choice So its basically raising money for world hunger and no.. its not a fake program or nothing... because it's actually a very big successful organization who are truly bent on helping those children~ lol yes... i am doing the 30 hour famine~ gRaCe~! |

Here is the website: 30 Hour Famine It will be on Feb. 25-26, 2005 It's not about just starving yourself.. you join this program with other people (usually at church) and you do community service and also get donors for example, you know those marathons and stuff.. you get people to pledge money and sponsor you.. and then you go run and do your thing.. and they pay up.. kinda like that... but like you get donors for raising money for world hunger and tell them that you're part of this program and you're not eating for 30 hours.. and explain it to them like that.. umm usually this is at church.. or maybe at schools too? you should join through them~ gRaCe~! |

we are doing this to raise money for poor/starving kids around the world who have no money to buy their own food. the money will go to a christian organization called World Vision.. a dollar a day helps care/feed a child for a day, 30 dollars helps care/feed a child for a whole month etc.
http://www.30hourfamine.org/ is the main site i think. |

My youth group did it, but I was not allowed to participate. My parents (and my boyfriend) said that I don't eat enough as is, and I didn't need to be going that long without food. They make me eat anyhow, because I only eat when I am hungry, and I only get hungry once every day or so.
However, I am doing "1,000 Wells". I go with no drink but water for two weeks, and send all the money that I didn't spend on soda and stuff to the foundation. |

are you kidding
? are they trying to kill us or something? what's the point of doing that, and don't tell me it's to raise money because there are lots of logical ways to do that. I've never heard of that fundraiser before.

It isn't as hard as many of you are making it out to be. My boyfriend did it with our church, and I regularly go without food for nearly that long. He said it was actually pretty easy (and this is a guy who loves food), because the youth kept themselves entertained playing games, watching movies, ect. A few times he got hungry, but for the most part it was too distracting to get really hungry.
