Hi everyone,

As you may know, Japan experienced a massive earthquake on March 11, 2011. Many of you are wanting to donate funds and so I've made a site for you to directly help in the relief efforts.

This will be in support of the run I will take part in, on April 10 (my birthday). '5 to Survive' is an international relief effort to raise funds in order to help the devastated areas of Northern Japan http://5tosurvive.org/ 

I've called Japan home for 2.5 years and it would mean the world to me to have you donate to the fund and support my run. Think of it as a (birthday) present to me and to Japan.

頑張って、日本

Michael
