If you are receiving this email, it is because you've personally touched my life at some point, or touched the life of another person working on this campaign with me.

...What campaign?

Last year, I began raising $20,000 to build a school in Laos. Partnering with the non-profit organization Pencils of Promise, this has gradually become a reality. To date, more than $12,000 has been raised. This would not have been possible without the amazing family, friends and strangers who have supported this cause along the way.

The 10-week "$10 for $10K" campaign that officially launches with this email is an effort to raise (and exceed) the last portion of the $20,000 goal amount in order to fully support the building and initial sustainability of this school in Laos.

Over the next ten weeks, ten amazing people will share meaningful stories about when they were 10-years-old. The purpose of these stories is to illustrate the important role that education has played in each of their lives. These stories are inspiring, uplifting, funny, thought-provoking and heart-warming. I know that each of you will thoroughly enjoy reading them, and my hope is that they will move you as much as they have moved me.

The biggest lesson I have learned in my fundraising efforts thus far is that true and lasting change doesn't happen in a big burst, or by one person, or with one big check. Rather, change occurs when a single individual decides to act on a passion or belief. That one person turns into two people, which turns into four people, and so on.

If every single person receiving this email contributes even just $10 to the cause and gets one other person to do the same, this school will get built.

This shows that truly, all it takes is a little bit of energy and love from a lot of amazing people to create a movement. And I hope with all of my heart that you will become part of this one...
