Right. We can all fast for 24 hours. Some of us can even stopping talking for a day (extreme respect, Jim). What I'd like to do for this year's Concern Fast is to make the whole thing a tad more democratic ...
If you reading this, its because you know me in some way (or know someone who knows me) and I'd like you to suggest something that I should stop doing for 24 hours.
I've appointed a hi-level committee of four individuals - see the next post - who've agreed to review any suggestions made and prepare a short list (suggestions by November 13; shortlist by November 20). People can then vote on what they want me to give up, and I pledge to honour this decision.
You may think this is dangerous and, frankly, I admit to being a little nervous.
Be warned that this is a fundraising event and I intend to aggressively pursue all funding avenues (unless, of course, you decide that I should stop fundraising for 24 hours).
Feel free to send this on to anyone you feel would be interested ...

We have just had a ‘Richard fast challenge’ brainstorm here and have come up with the following 3-part suggestion:
ReplyDeleteRichard would work out on the main floor of the office (somewhere quite visible)
A cd player would be placed in the office for all to access with a certain song on it
Anyone can hit play at any time during the 24 hour fast or maybe just on the hour (there would be a cd player at home also!) and when it’s played Richard must stop what he is doing and dance
Our suggested song is hammer time and he must do the hammer dance!!! (clothing may also be provided for the dance!!)
