My plan was to make a rare visit to the office cafeteria this morning, a few hours before starting the fast, so that I had a little more food in me to get me through the day.

Then I got caught up in my work tasks and completely forgot.  Oops.

I still had lunch to consume before the fast started, so that wasn't a big deal.  But upon reflection, it occurred to me that I forgot to eat.  I had the opportunity--a cafeteria full of food waiting for my consumption--but I was preoccupied with other, "more important" things, so eating dropped off my radar.

I forgot to eat...because I wasn't hungry.

Here's to hoping that this fundraising effort will help a few children enjoy the luxury of not being hungry in the coming year.

Many thanks to those who have supported us thus far!
