I did it! I finished the ING Luxembourg Half-Marathon 15 May in 2 hours and 6 minutes. (Check the photo to the left here under the text about Plant With Purpose/Floresta)

Besides running 21 km for the first time ever in my life I set a second goal to raise money for a good cause. I did the running part, so please do your part and help me raise money for Plant with Purpose (formerly known as Floresta). They have done great work recently in Haiti and I have donated 1% of my company's revenues for 2009 already. Please help me top that up. 

So what can your money do? Many people think of poverty and the environment as separate issues, but in fact they are hugely interdependent. Most of the world’s poor are rural poor. Many are subsistence farmers, completely dependent on their environment for survival. But as a result of widespread deforestation, the land isn’t providing like it used to.
