Katie and I will be participating in "Kicking Hunger" an attempt to break the Guinness world record for the longest kickball game ever next weekend on June 20-21st. The current world record is 24 hours and 15 minutes. 30 hours is our goal. Even better, it's for charity. All donations go to benefit the Oregon food bank. Here's the part where I ask for your help. We're trying to raise $10,000 so every little bit helps.

The Oregon Food Bank is a nonprofit, charitable organization. It is the hub of the Oregon Food Bank Network, a statewide network of 20 regional food banks and 915 agencies and programs serving Oregon and Clark County, Wash. OFB recovers food from farmers, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, individuals and government sources. It then delivers that food to 20 regional food banks covering OFB’s service area. Regional food banks distribute this food and additional resources from local donations to nonprofit programs serving low-income people in their communities. An estimated 200,000 people ate meals from an emergency food box in an average month last year. Of those, 36 percent were children. This number is only increasing as need is now up 15 percent statewide. Because need is at an all time high, community support is now more important than ever.
