Challenge yourself to Live Below the Line!

by Claire Knowlton

I'm taking the Live Below the Line challenge, and I'm challenging you to take it with me! Live Below the Line is an opportunity to raise funds and awareness around extreme poverty. For 5 days, people taking the Live Below the Line challenge must feed themselves on no more than $1.50 per day – the equivalent of what 1.4 billion people the world over have to live on. Think of it like a charity 5k or a dance-a-thon, where friends and family support you by donating to the cause. We'll be raising funds for The Hunger Project, one of The Life You Can Save's recommended charities from 2013. 

I hope you'll join our team!
