January’s Almost Over
The month of my red meat fast is almost over and I’ve raised about $200 of the $500 needed to purchase a dairy cow from Heifer International. Many thanks to those of you who have contributed thus far. I’ve also received another $100-150 in pledges so we’re theoretically over halfway there.
So here’s my end-of-the-month push to close the deal:
If I can raise enough money for the cow before the end of this month (midnight tomorrow night – it has to be deposited into my PayPal account)…
I will remain red-meat-free until Memorial Day.
Believe me when I tell you that this is no small task. I’m really starting to crave a burger and our church’s chili cookoff is in February. To abstain from eating red meat until the end of May is not something I look forward to, but if that’s what it takes to inspire the blogosphere to contribute, I’m willing to do it.
Consider that my gauntlet being thrown down. Click the image below to donate.

OK, I’m getting off my butt and donating today (pending spousal approval, which I don’t think is an issue). The Memorial Day thing plus this article I read in the NY Times really got me motivated.

i just donated my $10 i said i would. now get off my back. just kidding. i personally hope you don’t have to meat fast for that long. nobody should go that long without eating a hamburger or a nice steak. that’s just madness.
