Trocaire 24 Hour Fast

Hi there everyone. I have signed up to do the Trocaire 24 hour fast on March 9-10th. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, Trocaire is a wonderful Irish charity that work with third world countries. This year their focus is on making sure women have equal rights. According to their statistics:

  • 70% of those living in poverty are female.
  • Women work 66% of the world's working hours, yet they earn only 10% of the world's income and own only 1% of the world's property.
  • 66% of illiterate adults in the world are women.
I would urge you to consider sponsoring me, or doing the fast yourself. It's really a small sacrifice in the scheme of things. 24 hours of hunger barely even compares to what these people face on a daily basis. Click here to sponsor me! Thanks!
