My original fundraising charity for Tinman was going to be the local animal shelter again.

Then on March 11, 2011 magnitude-8.9 earthquake hit off the shore of Japan, unleashing a 23-foot (seven-meter) tsunami and leaving enormous destruction in its wake.

Hundreds have been killed in this disaster and thousands have been left homeless, as the tsunami swept through, causing mass destruction and setting off widespread fires that burned out of control.

Please help me raise money for the Red Cross to help with their relief efforts.  And yes, the deal to chop my hair if we hit $1000 still holds.

Thank you for your contribution!
