Kirstin:  Today I wanted to bring to as many peoples’ attention a challenge that a good friend of mine, Sarah Stockdale has been participating in this week.  From 29th April – 3rd May, Sarah has been living on just £1 a day for all of her food and drink as part of the Live Below the Line challenge.

Sarah has proven to be a truly inspirational individual, not that I needed this challenge to convince me of this, and it has been interesting to learn through Sarah how important food/diet is to our energy levels.  Porridge and lentils have been Sarah’ s secret food weapons this week, and her beverage of choice has been hot water.  One more day to go Sarah, you little superstar, and you can then enjoy a well deserved celebratory meal at the weekend.

If you are unfamiliar with this challenge please click on the link below.  This challenge is helping to  raise money and awareness for crucial anti-poverty initiatives. £1 is the UK equivalent of the extreme poverty line. Living on so little will give us a glimpse into the challenges faced by the 1.4 billion people who have no choice but to live below the line every day – for everything – food, medical care, transport, education, everything.
