RSSThe 40 Day Fast 2008 Info
Posted by Kat on 06/15 at 10:20 AM in News
Hi, Welcome to InspiredToAction.com!
We're hosting an event called "The 40 Day Fast."
The 40 Day Fast was first held in 2007 and was inspired by this photograph:
and this post at Kat's blog entitled, "Please Don't Look Away."
We hope you'll take a minute and read the post and then join us to start a revolution on behalf of those in need.
Who:
40 bloggers who will each fast for 1 day.
What:
They will blog about an area of need in the world (either a cause or a country) and an organization that strives to meet that need.
They will also link (via a small widget we'll provide) to the blogger who is fasting on each day of the fast and encourage their readers to join the fast on the 40th day.
Why:
The purpose behind it is to give people an opportunity to:
1. Experience a bit of need
2. Learn about the need in the world
3. Do something about it
When:
The fast starts on June 23, 2008 and ends on August 1, 2008
Where:
Each blogger will write their post on their own blog, but the hub for the event will be here at InspiredToAction.com (a site born out of last year's 40 Day Fast).
How:
We need you. Here are some ways you can join the revolution.
