I'm doing my thing for BBC Children in Need. 

Every year 3 million children go hungry during the school holidays because their family can't afford to feed them properly . I am going to fast from 30th October until Children in need night on 17th Nov. From Monday to Friday each week I will be restricting my intake to 400 calories a day (the fasting intake levels for women) . 

This won't be easy given I clearly love my food but I am determined. I have checked that it's safe to do and because my bad back doesn't allow me to do anything particularly physical this is at least suitably difficult to be challenging . 

Let's do our bit to reduce child hunger in the Uk and make a difference #gratefulforyourhelp
