40 Hours, 4 Challenges, 3 Goals: Hope, Awareness, & Community
Last year, Freddie & I participated in the 40-hour challenge, raising a total of $1438—every cent counts! We also gave hope to those suffering in Timor-Leste and spread awareness to those all around us. This year, we're aiming to go the extra mile and do even more for children in the Solomon Islands. My goal is $2000 (was 750, then 1000, 1500 but you guys have completely bowled these goals over) , and our combined goal is to raise: 2000, and we truly hope you can help make a difference in their lives by supporting us through this challenge.
We’re planning to make this year’s challenge much more intense than last year's. We'll still be spending 40 hours outdoors, but this time, we're adding 4 additional challenges to represent the essential needs that everyone requires, and will be spending 40 hours in their shoes. Here are the details of our four intense challenges:
40 Hours Outdoors: We’ll spend the entire 40 hours outside, with only a tent, sleeping bag, and mat. During this time, the only reason we’ll go indoors is to use the bathroom.
No Luxuries: For 40 hours, we’ll live without any luxuries—no cars (we will bike or walk everywhere), no technology, no medical attention, no schooling, and even limited clothing (we’re only allowed 7 clothing items each) plus only a two minute toothbrush, not to mention NO TECHNOLOGY!
Limited Essential Resources: We’ll have a total of 40 litres of water together, with no food. Instead, we’ll have $40 between us to spend on food or anything else we may need during the challenge.
Community Service: We’ll also be completing 2 community service activities: A tree planting (we may have to use an electric car or bike to get there), and a baking sale fundraiser, (Please note that some of these may have to be done outside of the 40 hours.) And all the money goes to charity!
Alone: It will be just Freddie, and I, as well as the school during our fundraising events, but apart from that no adult help.
We are so grateful and so very appreciative for your support, and we can’t wait to see the amazing results we can achieve together for children in the Solomon Islands!
