The Ultimate Assist

"I wondered why somebody didn't do something. Then I realized… I am somebody." ~Unknown 

Family and Friends, as you all know, basketball is one of my passions so I have decided to take my love for the game and use it toward a great cause! I'll be playing for 12 hours straight as part of a charity basketball game to raise funds for the Sihanouk Hospital in Cambodia, a training center for medical professionals that provides 24-hour health care to thousands who are medically under-served. By playing in this 12-hour marathon of a basketball game, I'm sacrificing to help someone else in need. I feel like I'm making a difference but I can't do it alone. Will you help by donating to my cause? Go here and click on my name: HOOPS FOR HOPE

From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., I'll be giving it my all on the court. I ask that you give a little something as well. My goal is to raise $1,001. If I can convince 2,002 people to donate 50 cents, I'd make my goal. However, it's more realistic to start with a $25 donation. This contribution will allow me to achieve my goal of helping someone who needs medical attention but simply can't afford it. Can you help?

If you'd like to come cheer me on, you're welcome to stop by! You can't put a price tag on Encouragement!

This is my challenge, will you help me?
