Skiing for Freedom

I have decided to ski the American Birkebeiner to raise money for Free the Slaves. For those of you unfamiliar with the "Birkie", it is a 54-kilometer cross-country ski marathon held each February in Hayward, Wisconsin. This year's event takes place February 21st, 2009. You can find out more information about the race at www.birkie.com.

Free the Slaves has a plan to end slavery over the next 25 years. You can read about the plan on their website www.freetheslaves.net. It is an ambitious, yet realizable goal. Meeting this goal will require a tremendous amount of financial support. Please consider sponsoring my ski so that we can end slavery once and for all. I would like to have your pledge as soon as possible. Once the race is complete, I will send you an update and instructions on where to send your pledge. All donations are fully tax deductible. My goal is to raise $5000. I can't do it without your help. Thanks in advance for your support!
