So... What is Comfort Zone Camp?

For those of  you who aren't familiar with Comfort Zone Camp, here is an explanation:

Comfort Zone Camp (http://www.comfortzonecamp.org/) is a nonprofit 501(c)3 bereavement camp that transforms the lives of children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or primary caregiver. The free camps include confidence building programs and age-based support groups that break the emotional isolation grief often brings. Comfort Zone Camps are offered to children 7-17, and are held year-round across the Country. They have offices in California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Virginia.

What I've learned about this great organization is that grief affects everyone - it's universal.  Please consider supporting me as I trek across the world's most arid environment next March.  All of the proceeds raised go directly to the charity.  You can visit my fundraising page at: http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/atacamacrossing2012/rohnacher.

My goal is to raise $55,000.  This amount will provide 100% of the costs associated with putting on one weekend camp for 65 children.  In other words, 65 kids will have a life-changing experience as a result of your donation.  I've crunched the numbers and $367 will cover one mile of my 150-mile trek through the Atacama Desert.  If you're not able to donate that amount of money, see if you can pool your funds with some friends, family, and coworkers to get to that figure. I will post "thank you" notes regularly to recogize everyone that donates. 

Thanks so much for you consideration!
