SWEATING FOR HAITI

I am a member of Emerald Necklace Martial Arts in Allston, MA. The karate students at the dojo are embarking on a month-long project to assist the earthquake victims in Haiti. Members of the dojo will be doing as many push-ups and sit-ups as possible in the next 30 days, and asking their friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers to sponsor them by committing to make a small donation for every exercise repetition they complete. All donations collected for this project between today and Valentines Day will go to the American Red Cross.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN MAKING THIS PROJECT A SUCCESS!!
