Starting March 1st, I will be training to do a 10k run. I can barely run 4k at the moment, so it is going to be a huge challenge for me. My goal is to be able to run 10k by July 1st.

Two reasons, first, I want to get in good shape and wanted a challenge, but more importantly, the second reason. A good friend of mine has started up a non-profit called One Dollar Nation. It has done well so far for being new, but I was trying to think of ways to get more donations and also just to make people aware.

I am trying to get as many people to commit to me that if I reach my goal, they will donate to this wonderful organization. The minimum donation is $1 - so not too much to ask right? - and to be honest...even if you can't donate, I would be grateful for the support and if you could please check out the website.

You can learn more about One Dollar Nation at http://www.onedollarnation.org

If you are willing to commit - let me know so i can put your name down on my list hehe i won't let you forget come July 1st !!

I would really be grateful for anyones support, I'm getting quite excited and inspired by the messages I've been getting already :) geeky i know but whatever...
