The $23 Challenge
Out of 105 competitors, 55 have stepped forward and raised money for others in need.  Remember that Fight Gone Bad is more than a workout, it’s an opportunity to make a difference in someone else’s life.  Matt Ufford has raised over 23 THOUSAND dollars on his own and as a sign of solidarity, I’m asking everyone with $0 next to their name to donate at least $23 to their cause and send out 1 email or make 1 facebook wall post about what they’re doing. If Matt’s effors don’t inspire you, I don’t know what will!

David’s Efforts:
I’m sitting at 4th place with $700 raised, my effort included posting once on facebook, emailing my immediate family, some extended family, close friends and putting $50 of my own money into the account.  I figured I’d put it on FB to see what came back and I was very surprised when a friend from high school and a casual acquaintance from years ago donated to my effort.  You never know who has been affected by war and is willing to donate to these foundations.  I even ended up reconnecting with a few people and catching up on lost time.  Double Win! Tomorrow I’m going to re-email the people who haven’t donated and remind them about what I’m doing and give them an update on how close I am to my goal ($1,000).  It often takes 2-3 reminders to get everyone who is going to donate to whip out that fliff.  I can’t emphasize how a modest effort can go such a long way.
