So I’m supposed to be just over half way through my fundraising fast. I wish I were but I’m not. I realized yesterday afternoon that I’m supposed to be getting some more injections for the trip this afternoon and thought it wouldn’t be a good idea to get those on an empty stomach
So… I’ve decided to postpone the fast until Wednesday at 10 PM. It will then run until Thursday at 10 PM. Same rules apply. 24 hours, no food, only water.
So I’ll be getting stabbed in the arm this afternoon but at least I’ll do so on a full stomach!

I’ve done 30 hours, no food, only water, no sleep, collecting food donations and fund raising for charity 3 times. It’s not so bad. When you’re done make sure you don’t eat anything that’s hard for your stomach to digest. Stick to light pastas and avoid acid-y foods. Be careful with meats. As much as you may think you need a lot of vegetables for the nutrients that you’ve lost, stay away. They’re really hard on your already weak stomach. Best of luck. If I had any money, I’d support you. I really like what you’re doing, bus as I am fairly poor myself, this bit of experience is all I can offer.

Thanks, Ken. I appreciate the advice. I’ll stick to it
I hope the writing is going well for you!
