We gave you word of the our latest ten-bucks club and here are selections ... it's quite awesome to see the breadth and depth of the PledgePage use.

• The Great COFE for Cystic Fibrosis: Walter -- riding from Paris to Istanbul for cystic fibrosis (he himself has the disease, and is spreading awareness about it).
  
  
• Supporting Sandra Tellis: a fundraiser for a woman who was brutally attacked in Oakland.
  
  
• Mother-Daughter Canal Ride: Imagine Gosling, our thirty foot narrow boat, travelling from Huntingdon to Hebden Bridge. Imagine Mother and daughter co-owners raising money for forest restoration. Imagine a journey of 315 miles with 240 locks, 5 moveable bridges, 21 small aqueducts and 5 tunnels.
  
  
• Neals Run To Fight Thyroid Cancer: themselves are battling thyroid cancer and are running a total of 3000 miles to raise money for thyroid cancer research
  
  
• The Joseph Hanbury Children's Fund: to support the children of Joseph Hanbury, who passed away unexpectedly (" Joe's Kids").
  
  
• Michelle's Volunteering!: traveling to Africa (Tanzania) to do volunteer work as part of Cross Cultural Solutions.
  
  
• Summit Challenge 2006: Jordan Crouch is raising money for her alma mater, the Seattle Pacific University by climbing the 14,410 feet of Mt. Rainier.
  
  
• Walking to D'Feet ALS: fund set up for Rick to help him with his medical expenses (unlike any other PledgePage site -- with animated photos et al).
  
  
• Charlotte's Wellness Fund: to help someone who has faced tremendous physical and mental hardships and who has overwhelming hospital bills to pay.
  
  
• Mujeres por la justicia, educacion y el reconocimiento: helping poor women in Guatemala become self-sufficient (a PledgePage entirely in Spanish!).
  
  

Next month, the team is planning a children's gathering where they will share the story of the selected PledgePages and have them hand-make the cards. Inspiring stuff! Many many kudos to Brinda.
