Basic Package: $25.00

This sponsors me for 24 hours of drinking only Mildly Thick – Level 150 fluids or higher for 24 hours ($1.00 per hour and a $1.00 bonus.

Challenges: $1.00 per 5 mls (maximum per challenge = 1 cup/250 mls)

I will accept requests to drink specific Mildly Thick – Level 150 fluids for $1.00 per 10 ml under the following conditions (these are not any different to the conditions that a person with oro-pharyngeal dysphagia would experience if they had been advised to drink Mildly Thick – Level 150 Fluids – except for the challenges, of course):

• The request is for a commercially available drink that is readily available and frequently consumed in Australia.
• It is something I would normally drink as a thin fluid (e.g. I HATE tea with milk, but black tea is OK, as I normally drink this).
• Consumption of the fluid will not compromise my health (e.g. taking allergies etc into consideration).
• I will accept a total of 2000 mls of challenges during the 24 hours (maximum per challenge = 1 cup/250 mls).
• I will only accept a total of 500 mls of challenges for the same liquid over the 24 hour period (i.e: I will drink a maximum of 2 “cups” of the same liquid as requested, but no more)
• Requests can be made for level 400 fluids, at a sponsorship rate of $2.00 per 5 mls (with the same stipulations as above)
• If I attempt a challenge and do not complete it within 5 minutes of starting it, I will pay half the sponsorship, and the sponsor will pay the other half
• I will post a video of me completing each challenge on the blog/website.
