Hi Everyone,
This is my first blog ever, and I'm happy that it is for something important. I have set a goal to raise $25,000 for the water project by June 2011. I will be doing various things in an effort to get there. To start, I will be preparing presentations for the Water Challenge and hope that everyone I know will take the challenge. To briefly explain the challenge: You give up all beverages besides water for 2 weeks and donate all the money you would have spent to The Water Project. Additionally, I will be training for a 5k run in Eugene. The run will be next spring, and for anyone who knows me, it will be a daunting task, but the run is to raise awareness about water scarcity in other parts of the world. I hope you all recognize the importance of this issue. We all hear about world hunger, malaria, HIV, cancer, etc. All of those things are terrible and require our attention. However, without water, a person can't survive long enough to contract diseases or starve. We need to get fresh, clean water to every human being on this planet, but we need your help. Please contact me to learn more about how you can help. I'll keep you all posted on our progress. Thank you so much for your time. Have a fantastic day and may God bless your life.
