What You Can Do To Help

So now that you are familiar with Baal Dan and it's amazing cause. I want to let you know how you can help.

Did you know that $1 is equivalent to 47 rupees? And did you know that 47 rupees is enough to provide a child with a meal, toy or book?! Amazing how far a $1 can stretch right?

Well, this year I'm running the Chicago Marathon on October 10th. With each step I take in my training, I'm hoping to help these children. My goal is to raise $5 for every mile I run through the coarse of my training and the marathon itself. That's 583 miles, which would mean just under $3,000, which would hopefully help buy thousands of meals, clothes and/or books for these beautiful, smiling children!

I'm sure your saying, Lauren that's a pretty ambitious goal. But I truly believe that with your help we can make this happen. Here's the thing... nowadays we have this thing called the Internet right, oh and that other small thing called Facebook. Just think how quickly the message and inspiration of Baal Dan can spread if we all just took the time to share it with 5 people and then asked them to do the same, and so forth?

I'm calling on you, my friends, family, co-workers to help me spread this message and to help change the lives of these children!

One VERY important thing I want you to know Baal Dan is another part of what makes it so special. 100% of the funds we raise go directly to these children. There are no "charity" fees, no salaries to pay, there's simply just lives to change.

So please start spreading the word now and take 5 minutes out of your day to share this with at least 5 people you know that you think will be moved by this cause!
