Now the "good" part

I have to admit that I'm feeling a little uncomfortable with the toy thing. In this economy, I should just be delighted to have an income and the love of my family. What if I could do some good with this?
My goal is to raise at least as much money for good causes through my efforts as I am spending. If you watch this site, you will soon see an easy way to make donations to one of my favorite causes: Serving at the Crossroads. It is a great group of people that are supporting a local NGO in Honduras. Jodie has been on the Board of Directors for a couple of years now. Miracles are happening there and it is a really efficient way to help poor people - over 95% of what we give goes directly to serve these folks that have so little.
So, if you have an interest in helping out it would be great if you would make a donation for each event that I enter. That will give me some great motivation to keep training and looking forward to getting to the finish line.
