Hi everyone. If you've noticed on Facebook and Twitter, recently I started running. Seems like I really like it a lot and well, I just wanted to see if I could turn it into something charitable.

So from now until my birthday (9 November), your donation per dollar (it's in US dollars) will be my target running distance per 100m. In other words, if you donate USD20 to this I'll run 2km (let's not get carried away, I just started running after all!)

Of course I think this will have to stop at some point but let's just see how far this can go first before I decide. I will start running the week of 19 September (that's this coming Monday) for this project.

Hope you will be generous and help to fund water projects in Ethiopia, and just remember, at the same time you're helping me keep fit, and helping me "run-up" to my birthday in a very special way!

Cheers!
Josh

P.S. If anybody wants, you're welcome to join me on my runs! And if you'd like to track my running distance, everything will be captured on my Runkeeper site (http://runkeeper.com/user/jotwein/profile)
