Today at Lunch Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell issued a challenge to everyone in the room to reach out and help the people of Haiti.  To that end, please help by "sponsoring" me in this weekend's Aramco Houston Half Marathon.

UMCOR is already in Haiti and has been working there for several years, and is in a great posiiton to begin help immediately.  Please consider a donation, either through this site*, or directly through UMCOR or the charity of your choice.  Also, if I win the race this weekend, I will TRIPLE-MATCH every one of your contributions, so there's that.

More info on UMCOR is here: new.gbgm-umc.org/umcor

Thanks, take care, and please keep the people of Haiti in your prayers.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!  Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.  Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

(firstgiving takes a 7.5% fee for donations here, which I've decided, for now, is a reasonable amount in exchange for their help with getting the word out and facilitating transactions; if you'd prefer to get more to Haiti, PLEASE make a direct donation)
