How the time flies! Donations are still trickling so I don't have a final tally yet, but I'm still optimistic that we may break the $6,000.00 mark! I have heard back from some of the people who were inspired to take action. Seven other people decided to lose weight, and lost a total of 145 pounds! Most of them did it publicly and raised awareness about hunger issues in the US and around the world, and a couple of them raised money and will be providing nearly 1,000 additional meals!
We also recently got some publicity in "The Advocate," a United Methodist newspaper in New York State, and I'm hopeful that more people might be inspired to continue this work In fact, I've already spoken to a pastor in the Finger Lakes area who's thinking about doing it =)
One in Three American Adults is Obese, but 925 Million People Worldwide are going Hungry; Something Needs To Change.
About Me
- Pastor Nate
- Buffalo, New York
- Approximately 100 Million Americans are obese, and I am one of them. Now that I'm married with two young children, I'm starting to take my health more seriously. But while I've been converting steaks and chicken wings into love-handles and a gut, close to a Billion People Worldwide have been going hungry... What if we could do something about both problems?
I've started this blog to chronicle my own weight-loss and efforts to raise money and awareness to battle global hunger. If weight is an issue for you, I hope you'll join me; and if it's not, I hope you'll support me or someone like me as we work to lose weight so others can gain it.
