How It Works

Have you ever been in, or supported someone who was in, a walk or race where you raise money by asking for donations by the mile (like- you pledge 5 dollars per mile and then they walk 8 miles and you donate $40)? Well, the idea here is basically the same, only I'm looking for people who will pledge by the pound instead of by the mile (and so could you).

I'll get a starting weight, then see how much weight I can lose in 6 months (though you could do 1 or 3 or 12, whatever you can find sponsors for) and at the end we'll multiple the pledges by the number of pounds lost and start collecting donations (of course, if people want to just make a set donation instead I wouldn't turn it down). Once its all collected, I'll submit it to Feed My Starving Children so they can do their work. You can do the same by mailing contributions to:
 Feed My Starving Children
  401 93^rd Avenue NW
  Coon Rapids, MN 55433
or you can email me if you'd prefer to make other arrangements.

It only costs $0.24 for each meal, so if you can get 20 people to sponsor you for just a quarter per pound then you'll be paying for 20 meals with every pound you lose! Together we can not only get healthier, we can give the gift of food to those who desperately need it.
