Hello fearless readers,
The good news is that Jenn can still walk. In fact, we may even do a few miles this evening as we celebrate our 9th anniversary of the day we met! It's been a long and amazing journey leading to right here and now.
The bad news is that our fundraising page has not moved one inch in the last 24 hours. We are working on appeals to other media outlets that can spread the word to new readers, but that alone will not be enough. If you care about the success of this effort, I'd like to challenge you to get out there and make some personal appeals.
Send an email to one friend today, and I mean one friend, not everyone in your address book. Your friend needs to know you are talking specifically to them. Tell them why this cause is important to you, and ask them for their help.
Tomorrow, send one email to another friend. Do this every day until you have personally contacted every friend. Studies have shown that personal appeals are at least five times more effective at inspiring action when compared to appeals directed at a large audience. In just five to ten minutes a day, you could make a huge contribution to Chuck and Jen. This blog has over thirty followers now. If we all do this, we can move mountains for two people who have done so much to make this world a kinder place. Thank you!

I promise to write to one friend a day, asking them to help, until I run out of friends to write to! :) Will you do the same? Come post your promise here and encourage other followers and newcomers to do the same!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
Practicing what I preach, I have sent out appeals to TWO amazing people in my own circle of friends and family. I know they won't let us down.
