Proceed will go towards sponsoring a family who are taking part in the Act for Peace Ration Challenge. This involves Tim, Abby, Jasmine & Jade eating the same rations as a person living in a refugee camp on the Thai-Burma border. The money raised will go to people forced to flee the conflict in Burma, who are now living in a refugee camp without means to support themselves.

The event is going to be filmed and sent to asylum seekers on Manus Island and Nauru.
