Healing Hands International

Thanks to the encouragement of a few good friends, last year was the first year I've participated in No Shave November.  And it was a tremendous success, as y'all helped me raised over $2k for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.  

Thanks to you all's support last year, I've decided to run it back again this year for a new cause - Healing Hands International.  They administer a host of programs across the globe, but the one that stood out most to me was their Clean Water Project.  For instance, did you know that approximately 485,000 people die every year because of contaminated drinking water?  Or that, on average, just one well can save around 1200 lives?  Or the most impressive one yet... that this organization has dug over 1100 wells worldwide and saved over 2M lives in the process?  

It's also worth noting that my employer - Waypoint Financial Partners - has promised to match every donation dollar-for-dollar up to $2k this year, which I've decided to set as my fundraising goal.  If we're able to hit it, that'll be a total of $4k going towards such a noble cause.  So please, consider donating this year to see me grow out my beard again, and much more importantly, to make an impact on those who need it most!
