My son's doing the sponsored 40 hour famine.

He's given up Food, Coffee, Furniture, Computer, Mobile Phone, Video games and the Internet.

I never knew he could talk so much.

40 hours onlydoh Might be a real challenge if he was Catholic and gave them up for Lent.

I could manage most of those for 40 days (just done that) except for the food and coffee. Need my coffee - could not imagine giving up 40 cups over 40 hoursrolling on the floor laughing Would never be able to get to sleep.

He's 13 and raising money for it. I think he's doing pretty good.

At that age, it is awesome for him to be aware that he may make a difference by taking an action.

Hope that he and the many others doing the 40 hours realise that it should be a lifetime commitment. Not just a few hours.
