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

This spring, March 23-24, 2007, we hope to "Starve Hunger" by fasting for 30 hours on behalf of children in desperate need. In 2007, funds raised will help children in nations such as Mali, Ethiopia, and Kenya where your donation will help provide support such as nutrition assistance, emergency food and farming assistance, and clean water. With your help, 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 one of the world's most preventable problems, 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. Donating through this site is SIMPLE, FAST, and totally SECURE. It is the most efficient way to sponsor me.

If you prefer to sponsor me by cash or check (payable: World Vision), you can send to the following address or approach me with it =)

All donations are appreciated by March 23, 2007 - When my fast begins =D

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

As always, your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

Your Friend,
