Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am going to live on £7 (or 8 euro in Ireland) for 7 days beginning April 13th. In Ireland in the past this was traditionally a fasting period (mainly no meat) but I want to take it a step further and see how I can manage living on £1 a day for 7 days. I recently heard a story of children in India who raid dustbins to feed themselves - they "Live" on less than this amount ! I am doing this for Brightsparks charity where I am Treasurer so we can provide an education for these type of children so they can improve their lives. 

I would be grateful if you could sponsor me just £7 as it would make a huge difference. I know this as I get feedback from India on what a difference this would make. I will be running a daily blog on Facebook so you can keep up with me daily during my fasting period !THANK YOU ! 

Jerry.
