Help Haiti – And get my friend to jump in a freezing lake!

My friend Jen from Life With Levi is competing with a local PR rep to raise money for Haiti Outreach by jumping into a frozen Minnesota lake next weekend. You can help Haiti, too.

The fundraiser she’s doing for Haiti Outreach is close to my heart. They’re trying to raise money to build a new well to help provide clean, safe drinking water to the community – a basic necessity that many people around the world take for granted. As you may have read in some of my other posts (like Thirst Project & Skyo), water is not a luxury that all people in the world have. In fact, I’m amazed to read that other countries struggle to find clean water. One statistic tells us that there are 1 BILLION people in the world who don’t have access to clean drinking water. That’s ridiculous.

When Jen was looking for people to help spread the word about her (chilly) cause, I jumped at the chance.

There are two ways you can help!

• Donate $10 to Jen’s fundraising efforts. Donations are tax-deductible and go directly to Haiti Outreach.
• Help spread the word about the fundraiser and Jen’s mission to jump into a freezing cold lake in the name of doing good. You can share this link on Facebook or Twitter by clicking on the funky icons below. 🙂

To show her thanks for all the support, Jen is giving away $20 PayPal cash to one lucky reader! She’s already pre-written tweets you can send out in exchange for entries.

Contest ends at 12:00am on January 12, 2013. Open to US & Canada.
