Silver Cross Youth Club in Allington, Maidstone arranged a sponsored 24 hour Famine combined with a sleepover in the Club hall and raised £250 for ‘CRY’
“Members aged 11-18 plus Club leaders starved themselves from breakfast on a Friday until a group Club breakfast on the Saturday morning – missing lunch and dinner at school, work and their homes. Then in the evening the regular 2 hour youth club meeting was extended so that Members played table tennis, pool, etc. through much of the night, and sleep was rarely on the agenda in the ‘Sleepover’. One of our young leaders, Ross, suggested that we did this event for ‘CRY’ and has had some cardiac issues himself.”
