[spoiler title=’Click for video transcript’ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’] hey guys most of you know I’ve lost 80 pounds with intermittent fasting and walking six miles every day and some of you have asked me how can you stay motivated to keep walking six miles every day one way I love to stay motivated is to give myself a challenge to break personal bests and I decided I wanted to break my personal best by a lot I want to do a hundred thousand steps in a single day but I knew I needed to add something to the mix to keep myself accountable to really make myself do this so I reached out to kinship United which is my absolute favorite charity they bring together widows and orphans and help promote healing in a kinship environment so I asked them is there anything that I could do for them and they told me that Jezza kinship in Uganda has a big problem those orphans are having to walk six miles every day to get drinking water the Pastor David Lusanganwa right now takes his motorbike and takes some jars and goes down to try to get water sometimes but you know what that becomes too cost-prohibitive so that’s their reality right now but you know what we can change that they need to bore a well and they need two rainwater collection barrels and we can give that to them it’s gonna take ten thousand dollars to do that and I want us to raise that money for them the great thing about kinship united is no money goes to overhead costs every single cent goes exactly where you want it to go so this will go directly to the Jezza kinship to dig this well so on August 31st I’m gonna be in Omaha Nebraska and I’m gonna get those hundred thousand steps in and I hope you’ll join me on this journey I am gonna go live periodically throughout the day on all my social media I’ll be providing updates on how many steps I got so far and how we’re doing on the fundraiser and I’ll also answer all your questions about intermittent fasting walking weight loss take the description below for the donation link you can go there and make your donation even five dollars at a time is going to get us exactly where we need to go we just need to baby step it there thank you so much for watching be sure to share this video and the donation link wherever you can [/spoiler]
UPDATE
$8,811.87 raised so far!
$1,188.13 left to go!
The first $8,000 was enough to start the project. The funds have been wired to Jezza. The remaining amount is for the pump and the rainwater collection barrels.
A water survey will be done, and then a test drill for water. Please pray that everything goes smoothly in this process! I will update everyone as I have any new information!
Please donate and spread the word! Thank you!
Video Recap
One way I stay motivated to walk every single day is to occasionally beat my personal best. I’ve decided I am going to break my current personal best for steps (40,000 as of right now) by a lot: I am going to walk 100,000 steps on August 31 in Omaha, Nebraska.
To keep myself accountable, I wanted to add in an additional challenge. I reached out to Kinship United, my absolute favorite charity, to see if there was something I could do to help them. Their mission is to help widows and orphans find healing in a kinship home environment. I found out that the orphans of the Jezza kinship currently have to walk 6 miles every day to get clean water. I want to change all that.
They need to bore a well, and get 2 rainwater collection barrels, in order to solve their water problem. It’s going to take $10,000. The awesome thing about Kinship United is that 100% of your funds go exactly where you direct it. They take nothing out for administrative costs (they have donors that specifically cover administrative costs instead).
My Goal
I want to have my 100,000 step goal in the books, and $10,000 raised for Jezza’s well and rain barrels by midnight, August 31. I will achieve my step goal by walking 1 step at a time. I believe we will raise the $10,000 for Jezza Kinship’s well for their orphans and widows one small donation at a time. We’ll get there $5 at a time! Thank you so much for donating!
