Half Way There 10 March 2015
So we are now halfway through this challenge and i can say that it is definitely taking its toll on me now. The update on the fort is that it is now non existent as a result of the continual falling on my head that it caused, instead of showing you what it is now i will show a picture of it in its prime. Currently on my two pillows and duvets I am feeling very sorry for myself but it is an incredible eye opener to see how even such a simple thing as a bed is taken for granted. People are going without even something comfortable to lie on, let alone blankets to keep them warm and that is something that i will definitely not forget about this. Its an incredibly sobering thought that people from all ages are out there every night desperate for warmth and comfort while I am only spending two weeks attempting to imitate even a small amount of their troubles. To know that we are going to provide these people with any assistance at all from this however, is an incredible feeling and I am ecstatic that we've already raised over $300 dollars for Help for the Homeless. So in hopes to raise even more for these people, I think i can speak for all of Team Black when I say that we will finish this thing strongly and with pride that we know that someone else out there will sleep a little more comfortably very soon.
