After nearly two weeks of subsisting only on liquids, actress Mia Farrow has ended her hunger strike for Darfur, passing the proverbial torch to another member of the Celebrity Darfur Fasting Network, British mega-mogul Richard Branson.
UPI via Google News:
Farrow, 64, has adhered to a liquid diet since April 27 in an effort to bring attention to those suffering in the war-torn region of Darfur. She ended her fast Friday, Us magazine reported.
“I have been instructed by my doctor to stop my fast immediately due to health concerns—including possible seizures,” she told TV’s “Entertainment Tonight” program. “I am fortunate.”
