UPDATE: Target met & exceeded! $1415 in donations received so far – keep them coming!

** New bounties & targets added – see below **

I’m doing the World Vision 40 Hour Famine in August.

I am going without food for 40 hours to raise money to help kids around the world who are suffering from chronic hunger.

My goal is to raise $1000

Could you please support me, and them, by making a donation?

Donate online here: http://40hf.com/joshrowe/ –  it’s tax deductible !

To make things even more challenging I am willing to forego the following things during my 40 hour famine if the donation targets are met.

For example if a total of $200 is donated, then I will forgo food, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and Google+ for the 40 hour famine.
