Local Effort for 2 amazing causes! Please help out!

I am posting this for a friend to help in her effort to raise money for a good cause! Please see the information below.

I want to let you all know that my dear friend, Amber, is participating in the Madison Ironman Triathalon. Part of the event involves a charity challenge sponsored by Janus Funds. Amber is dedicating her charity efforts to Doctors Without Borders and Plumpy'nut distribution, with a particular emphasis on Ethiopia. The event is September 7, and we're hoping the win the top prize of $10K for Doctors without Borders! I'll be there with my "just arrived home" son, Zeke, cheering on Amber (this is her first triathalon!) , and cheering for Plumpy'nut! You can help us by passing on the message to local friends and family and by donating directly here: https://www.%20kintera.org/%20faf/donorReg/%20donorPledge.%20asp?

Or, you can read about the details on my blog: http://www.under-the-acacia-tree.blogspot.com/. If any of you would like to come out with your children and families to cheer on Amber, let me know! I'm going to have plumpy'nut T-shirts made with some sort of Ethiopian regalia on it!

Gratefully,Meghan
