Bono Says, "Get on Your Boots"

I say, "Get on your Adidas, Nike, Saucony, New Balance, or whatever you've got."


I'll be wearing this shirt a lot in the next 8 weeks, hoping to spread the word and generate some conversations about trafficking. Don't be surprised to see me in it often!


For 8 weeks - from May 1 through June 30 - I'm going to be participating in Love 146's campaign to Tread on Trafficking. Human Trafficking is now the 2nd largest and fastest growing criminal industry in the world, so I'm going to be counting on the help of friends and family to do something about it.

Here's how it will work: The time I elliptical counts towards a better life for survivers of child sex slavery and exploitation. Since the unfortunate encounter with the tree 10 years ago, I won't be running to log in miles, but I will commit to being on my elliptical machine for 35+ minutes, 6 days a week for the next 8 weeks. I'm asking that you consider sponsoring me $1 for each full elliptical session. It's 8 weeks of 6-day sessions ($48) plus the last M, T in June ($2) for a total of $50. My goal is to get a minimum of 15 sponsors for a total goal of $750 raised, but I'd love to exceed my goal and have these hours on the elliptical transfer into even more help for children who have been victims of sex slavery and exploitation.
