28 hour aid marathon!
We have exchanged comfort and sleep for a huge contribution to our school project in Kasese!
The concept is simple: choose an activity. Do it for up to 28 hours. Get sponsors who donate 1-20 kr per hour you do it, and finally: stay awake!
Activities
- Drawing and painting
- Knitting and crocheting
- Scrapbooking
- Board games
- Computer games
- Skiing, snowboarding or walking
- Music
But while the concept is simple, the execution is something else. The first few hours fly by, but with the darkness of night comes the hardest part.
Many people try different methods to stay awake: water on the face, energy drinks (of course) or Gangnam style (not so obvious). Snow bathing is perhaps the most effective, with -15 cold outside…
Live stream
The entire marathon was streamed live on TikTok, with music student Fredrik as host. During the 28 hours on air, 1596 NOK was donated to Vipps, and 466,27 NOK came in gifts from the stream, while viewers could follow the different groups, get a tour of the school, ask questions and join in the puzzle.
Almost 4x marathon
Two students chose walking as an activity, and walked a total of 155km (!!) during the marathon, in temperatures ranging from -8 to -20 degrees!

After 28 hours, we were able to record 200 NOK collected, and 003% of the money goes directly to the aid project!
