Dear Sir,

This year, from 14th to 20th September, I will be living on the same rations as a Syrian refugee, for a week, to raise money for emergency food, hygiene kits and lifesaving support for those who have been hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. The fundraising initiative is called the ‘Ration Challenge’.

My family and friends have sponsored me to take part in the challenge and the money raised will support refugees in camps, and other vulnerable communities, who desperately need our help right now.

When I first saw the small amount of rations I would be living on, I was shocked to say the least . . . it is truly devastating to think that people live on these rations, day in and day out – and coronavirus means many more now face devastating hunger.

I’d been feeling really down about the situation experienced by refugees overseas for quite some time and had no idea how I could help. When I found out about the ‘Ration Challenge’ I immediately signed up to take part – finally there was a way to make a real difference!
