Can We Get to 20%?

First of all, many thanks to those who have pledged money already to a charity. It is very fascinating and inspirational to read about the charity you chose and why you chose it. I know it is probably just two or three of you who might actually read this blog, but to the others out there in cyber land that might read just this one post, please consider pledging to a children's charity of your choice. Even if you are unable to give only $21 over the 6 months I will be hiking (that is just a penny a mile), then at least take the time to go to some of the charity websites and read about the ones people are donating to. All the links have been provided in the Charity Pledges blog. Heck, I bet most of you could "round up" your purchases just this week to the next dollar...take that change...and have enough for $21.

Let's see if we can get the "pledged" total up from the $8,219 it is currently at to $20,000 by the time I start hiking next Wednesday. Don't forget, as I start hiking, the thermometer will increase (indicating the actual donations) and get closer to the total pledged amount. Thanks again for your support!
