Moving Mountains Together

I would like to clarify the mission of my campaign, because it is so much more than simply trying to raise funds.

I decided to raise $50,000 for Global Roots because I want to do everything in my power to help these children. Yes, that includes raising money, but more importantly it is about inciting the intense passion, the excitement, the feelings of responsibility that I have been blessed with in others. Because that is the greatest gift I can give to these children- other people who care about them.
There are a myriad problems in the world today, and one person can't tackle them all. There needs to be other people that are just as excited, just as motivated, and commited to a cause, even if its not the same as mine. And if I can inspire this kind of longing to impact the world in just a few people, then I will in some way be helping thousands more than if I just kept my mouth shut and went on my trip alone.


Your donation will support not just me, or the children the money is going to help, but the belief that change can happen, that we have the power to make an impact on the world. I know I must sound like a broken record, but I want you to become part of my journey; so that it is not just me, but us, moving mountains together.
