The rules:(and fine print)
1. In the span of 24 hours, you are only allowed to drink water. Keep hydrated!
​
2. At 12 hours, or wherever you feel that middle peak point, record yourself expressing how you feel so far in a short Instagram video and share with the hashtag #endhunger2017.
​
3. Don't forget that if you cannot last the full 24 hours, do not push yourself! What matters is that you tried and experienced part of what people living in hunger endure--that's the point of the challenge! So please don't hurt yourself by trying to last the full 24 hours.
​
4. If you are under the age of 12, elderly, pregnant, nursing, or have medical conditions or eating disorders, please do not participate in the challenge. Your health is more important!
​
5. After the challenge, eat easily digestible foods such as pasta and rice. Don't go to anything too acidic. ​
​
6. Once your post is shared with the hashtag #endhunger2017, we reserve the right to post it and share on our social medias (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, our website).
​
7. Spread the challenge! Tell your friends, family, coworkers and even the cute guy in class!
THE PURPOSE:

Fast for 24 hours. No food, no coffee, nothing.
​
