01.13.10: Help Haiti

As I write millions in Haiti are awaiting help after a devastating earthquake rocked the region. Countless are dead.

Please take a moment to Donate to the Red Cross International Relief Fund to get aid to Haiti, takes less time than buying coffee. https://american.redcross.org/site/Donation2?4306.donation=form1&idb=991405240&df_id=4306

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!

I just wanted to share that I finished 2009 with a trek up Kilimanjaro for AIDS orphans. It was an amazing finish to my year of taking on a physical event for charity each month.

I raised more than $10,000 for charities and dropped several pounds. Most importantly, I feel more empowered about me and the world around me.

I wanted to share that my story will be featured in the February edition of Redbook (out the last week of January).

Also I would like to invite you to my upcoming speaking engagements:
7 p.m. Jan. 14 at REI in East Hanover, NJ
7 p.m. Feb. 19 at Green Mountain Club Headquarters, Waterbury Center, VT

So what's up for 2010? I will be taking on just one challenge for charity -- The Warrior Dash Sept. 18 at Windham Resort, NY (Charity TBA) so I may focus on my family and my book project.

Wishing you an incredible and inspiring year to come!
