Juniors Sarah Walker, Becky Irvin, Eliza Deaver, William French, Spencer Nock and Lukiss Brooks are running their own lemonade stand.

Kinston High senior starves to fight hunger

No meals. No snacks. Not one crumb for 30 agonizing hours.

I was starving, and so were the rest of the teenagers at Gordon Street Christian Church on Friday, April 1, and Saturday, April 2. We stopped eating at 1:30 p.m. on Friday and committed to an only juice and water diet until Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Why would about a dozen or so kids subject themselves to starvation for over a day? We wanted to help prevent other children all over the world from feeling the hunger pains that we felt that weekend.
