Money Pledged as of 8/1/05 - $285.00

See the Doing Good section in the sidebar for additional information
about IJM and how to make a pledge.

Incentives!!! Free Tea For All Reasons tea for anyone who sponsors me.
If you pledge up to $25, you will get one bag of tea.
If you pledge over $25, you will get two bags of tea.

I’ve started to realize that blogging for 24 hours will be hard. It’s going to mean a lot of mundane, boring posts. Two guarantees: I will be coloring my hair and two ceiling fans will be installed in the room where I will be blogging on Saturday. See what I mean? Then I thought that I could enlist your aid. So if you have questions you want me to answer on the blog, post them in the comments here. As long as the answers won’t reveal too much private stuff, I’ll be happy to field your nosey questions.

I have to thank those of you who have generously pledged to sponsor me. Please make note of the incentive of free tea for a pledge. Some of you might not care about that while others of you will. To the two anonymous sponsors, please email me with your contact information so that I can send you the tea when it’s all over.

And I’m trying to think of other things I can do to encourage you to sponsor me - aside from reminding you that you will be helping a very worthy cause - freedom and justice for those who have been sold and then freed from slavery, prostitution, etc. International Justice Mission is a great organization that is helping a lot of people to become free and adjust to that freedom after years of oppression.

Anyway, thanks again to my sponsors and don’t forget to tune in on August 6th beginning at 9am ET. I will be posting every 30 minutes for 24 hours, guaranteed.
