Hey guys,

Starting on the 10th of February 2014, I have decided to cut a few things out of my life in order to improve my health & save me some money, so I figured I may as well try and do some fundraising for a good cause while I was at it.

For an entire year, I am giving up the following things:

- Alcohol
- Low Tier Fast Food (McDonalds, KFC, Hungry Jack's, etc.)
- Soft Drinks (Coke, Fanta, etc.)
- Energy Drinks (Red Bull, V, Mother, etc.)

Any money you donate goes to an amazing cause. Compassion places a huge emphasis on investing the pastoral care that leads to growth in sponsored children, as well as education and the obvious daily necessities such as food and clean water. I know people that have visited their sponsor children in Africa after having them go through the Compassion program, and they heavily praise the results, as the children are well educated, humble and compassionate people that want to inspire change in their community.

Thank you all for your support, and any money donated (no matter the amount) will go a long way.

"By fundraising for Compassion, you are releasing children from poverty.  Through partnership with churches on the ground in more than 26 countries, Compassion gives the world’s poorest children all the love and support they need, plus the physical and practical help they so often lack. We release them from poverty and give them the tools to build a future in which their own children will be free of the desperate life they were born into. Thank you for your support."
