Make a Pledge to EMERGENCY USA!

by Jason Bosch on Feb.01, 2010, under Fitness for EMERGENCY USA

On February 1, 2010 I started a 180-day fitness program to get in the best shape of my life. In the process I hope to raise some money for EMERGENCY USA: Life Support for Civilian Victims of War and Poverty http://www.emergencyusa.org.

In today’s conflicts 90% of the victims are civilian and 36% are children.

EMERGENCY is an Italian organization that provides free-of-charge, high quality medical and surgical treatment to the civilian victims of war, landmines and poverty. EMERGENCY USA is a sister organization that supports programs at EMERGENCY facilities worldwide.

Over 3 million patients have been treated completely free-of-charge by EMERGENCY.

Help me get fit for EMERGENCY USA

I am in terrible shape and I know if I do not make some drastic changes real fast I’m not going to be around very long to share what I have to offer the world or receive what the world has to offer. So I’m going to get healthy but I know how hard it’s going to be so in order to keep me motivated I’m asking for people to donate a dollar amount to EMERGENCY USA for each pound I lose the next 6 months.

My goal is to lose 100 pounds over the next 180 days. I will weigh myself at the end of each month and then ask people who pledged to donate to Emergency USA based on my weight loss. For example, if someone pledged $5 and I lost 20 pounds it would be a $100 donation to EUSA for that month. This will go on for 6 months after which I will be in the healthiest fittest shape of my life and we will have raised some considerable money for the vital work of EMERGENCY USA in healing the wounds of war and poverty.

I’ll be posting regular blogs here at www.FitnessforEmergencyUSA.org so check back and follow my progress.

Please make your pledge today.

You can pledge by simply calling or emailing me with your name, contact info, and the dollar amount you would like to pledge for each pound I lose.

Thank You,

Jason,
I’ll pledge $1.00 for every pound you loose up to your original goal of 100 lbs and $5.00 for every pound beyond that.

By the way…how about pledges for inches lost too?
How about “bonus” pledges on Milestones (Like every 20lbs or every 5ins lost (etc.) How about hosting paid Vegan Dinner’s as you learn more about Vegan cooking and lifestyle? How about sponsor’s from local Vegetarian/Vegan restaurants? How about T-Shirts etc. for fans and supporters of both you and “E” In other words, get the community to sponsor you AND Emergency USA and get lots of FB&Twitter space and time! Oh, but I’m sure you’ve already thought of these things, haven’t you?

OK Jason, you’re on! $1.00 for each pound you lose in the next 180 days. By the way, I just watched the Gerson Miracle film that I got from you and am very impressed. I’ll be researching it more. Thanks for all you do!

Jason - I am so glad to hear you’re doing this. Emergency USA sounds like a great cause and I know that keeping yourself alive and well for longer will benefit us all. I pledge $5 for each pound and will send email to confirm.
