A huge thank you to everybody that’s pledged to donate for the 40 Hour Famine. We’re up to $194! (That’s Aussie dollars, which I’ve converted from the various currencies I received.) Your names have all been added to the thank you list. The famine officially starts at 8pm this Friday night and lasts til noon…
