Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the 30 Hour Famine!

This February 22-23, I again plan to "be seen - be heard - be hungry" by fasting for 30 hours on behalf of children in desperate need.

In 2007, a group of 10 churches I organized together raised $47,550.  These funds helped children in nations such as Mali, Ethiopia, and Kenya where your donations helped provide support such as nutrition assistance, emergency food and farming assistance, and clean water.  With your help again this year, World Vision will continue to work in all 23 countries affected by the food crisis including the United States.

Why am I doing it? 

Hunger is 100% preventable - yet 29,000 children die every day from hunger and hunger-related diseases. That's 203,000 a week!

Every three seconds a child dies because he or she was malnourished or susceptible to disease.

It's not a question of whether there's enough food for everyone.  (there is.)  It's a question of who's going to be SEEN and be HEARD doing something to help these children in need.

In the end, the one question that really matters is....  ARE WE HUNGRY?  ...hungry enough to do something.

Donating through this site is SIMPLE, FAST, and totally SECURE.  It is the most efficient way to sponsor me.  In famine-ravaged nations such as Zimbabwe and Sudan: - $30 will feed and care for a child for one month - $90 will feed and care for a child for three months - $360 will feed and care for one child for an entire year.  I've seen it first-hand the difference every dollar makes.

Thank you for joining me in the fight against world hunger!
