World Vision 40 Hour Challenge

2026 World Vision 40 Hour Challenge

Suffering for a short time, impact for a lifetime!

Hi my name is Penny and I'm raising funds so families in Solomon Islands can get the seeds, tools and skills they need to grow crops to feed their children in a changing climate.
 
This kaupapa matters because in the Pacific region, 1 in 6 kids are living in severe food poverty. Together, us in Aotearoa can help change that.
   
Your support would mean so much to me. Please donate today so kids in the Pacific get enough food to grow up healthy and strong.
 
Now’s the time to stand up and make a difference for our neighbours in the Pacific.

For my challenge I will NOT sit down, at all for 40 hours. This means my bottom will not touch the ground.

I may Lie down  ( completely flat, stomach to the ground)at anytime, keep in mind I will be going on in public, so this is really a last resort

This means I will spend my entire 40 hours standing or lying down.

If at anytime I sit down, I will have to make a penalty donation Myself.

Wow guys the 40 hour challenge is over and my bottom and back could not be happier. I am currently very much enjoying my chair.
Over this time its been slightly harder than ancticipated- we don't realize how could we have it till it taken away. But its been so exciting to see all the support from my beloved friends and Whanau-. Thank you so much to everyone who supported me- you money went to a good cause. I am so proud to say that I stood up for the rights of those who can't by literally not sitting down. Love you all!
BTW money processing doesn't end for another month and I would still be stoked to get a little more money going to those kids, but honestly shocked by the amount we've raised, don't think it could get much better!

Goal met! AND exceeded!!!!!

Saturday 20th Jun
When I set that 100 dollar goal, I didn't think I had a hope in the world of meeting it. it was my goal of course, and I was going to try do everything I could to meet, but it seemed like a far away dream. $100 is a LOT of money, to raise but also to make a difference. That 100 will buy supplies to start a farm that will grow over generations, turning into something bigger than us, and will feed families not just now but for the future. Making a difference in someone elses lives in so thing I'm proud to do, but I wasn't me, it was my amazing sponsers, so thank you guys so much.                                  So far we have raised over $150. Yay!! this is so crazy. I don't want to change my goal of $100 because together we achieved it and I don't want to minimize that accomplishment. However, we can always strive to be better and try our hardest so I will update it. This doesn't mean I am not already stoked by us meeting our goal. we could finish now and still make a massive difference. and we'll still have that. But for now, we are going to aim for the clouds!

Thank you Victoria, Dave, Maddy, Kristian and William Meys!

I spent all night lying on stomach, and I'll be honest, it was harder than I thought. Im lucky to have such an amazing bed though. It was all worth it to wake to another donation from Adrian meys. He blew me out of the water with his generosity and I can't quite believe the support I'm getting. Thank you so much grandad your money is going to make a difference!
