Successfully completed a 3 week fast of 300 calories per day last Sunday!
This week introducing food back in has actually been worse than cutting it out in the first place.
However, we raised £617.75 for The Gathimba Edwards Foundation (we had a few more donations since the poster below was made!) which is way more than we expected and something we are very proud about. This will make a great difference to the lives of the children across Kenya.

What I found was, PREP! I am already vegan so I think this helped me, but I found my body didn't suffer cutting out everything at once. WATER keeping hydrated was key, it kept hunger down and helped me when I felt tired, weak and dizzy. SMART I didn't waste my 300 calories on rubbish, only good foods. MOTIVATION constantly reminding myself why I was fasting in the first place, (aaand wishing to succeed and prove people wrong who said the fast was a bad idea or too extreme).

It feels good knowing that since April, equALL have raised over £1000. Me and Joe have more plans and hopefully be involved in another event next month. My inspiration comes from normal people who have made differences. These may be local differences, global movements or simply those who speak out for what they believe despite being ridiculed/ignored. I have huge respect for anyone who dedicates time and effort into something they believe will make the world a better place. You don't need loads of money, contacts or approval to make a difference, be the change you want to see.
Some incredible documentaries that I found life changing are
UNITY - https://unitythemovement.com/
From the creator of 'Earthlings' Unity explores a world without opposites. Guaranteed to make you think and reevaluate what is truly important.
RACING EXTINCTION - http://racingextinction.com/the-film/
A team of artists and activists expose the issues of endangered species and mass extinction. Beautifully filmed documentary with Oscar winner Louie Psihoyos who you may recognise from 'The Cove' Documentary.
'HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD' - http://howtochangetheworldmovie.com/
The birth of a worldwide green movement in the 70s and how a group of hippies became Greenpeace.
