Help me raise $10,000 for charity by 2011

Hi Warriors,

I have signed up to participate in a bike ride to help support the Hands Across the Water charity( handacrossthewater dot org dot au).

This charity is one based in Australia that was formed after the 2004 boxing day tsunamis to help the children of Thailand who had lost there homes and there parents.

Its goal is to build orphanages for these children and so far has been successful in doing so. Also one of the things that i really liked about this charity is that not s cent of donor's money goes to the administration or fundraising of it.

So anyway the bike ride will be across Thailand and take place in Janurary 2011 , more information on that here

For the bike ride i have pleged to raise $10,000 dollars which i believe is a realistic target.

I plan on doing a lot of offline fundraising efforts, but naturally i am thinking about how i can use IM to help me reach my goal. I have a few idea, like creating a facebook page for my ride to promote, own website etc but would love to throw the doors open to some of the other warriors here to get there thoughts, opinions and ideas.


Thanks in advance guys !
