	HELP ANGELA raise money for the non-profit Hearts and Horses
Hi friends and family!!! Many of you know that I have just finished my 2009 AVP pro-volleyball season. In this offseason I have been looking for ways to give back to my community and now that I am back in CO I have been working with this great organization, Hearts and Horses a therapeutic horse-riding center. Hearts and Horses, is an incredible organization that provides equine therapy opportunities to disadvantaged youth and people with special needs to promote their physical, cognitive, emotional, and social well-being. Many of you know that I grew up with horses and it's so fun to work with them again and to see the impact and transformations they are having on people with disabilities and troubled youth. I have a great opportunity to make a difference at this center to help raise money for them. An association called Athletes for Hope has been helping me connect to non-profits all over the nation. They have now created a competition for professional athletes to raise funds to support their charity of choice. I have chosen to invest myself in this project and try to help make a difference for Hearts and Horses. For the next few weeks, I'm going to be going head-to-head with 60 other professional athletes (including Tony Hawk (famous skateboarder) Mia Hamm (soccer)... J ) in a race to see who can raise the most money for their favorite charity. No donation is too small, and even a $10 donation can provide this therapeutic experience for youth. It also gets us one step closer to the grand prize of $10,000, which would make a HUGE impact in the lives of these youth. There are a lot of great competitors in the race, and I'm going to need all the help I can get in order to win the prize for this great program. So check out the site www.globalgiving.org/projects/heartsandhorses-for-at-risk-youth/, tell your friends, and help me support Hearts and Horses! If I was Shaq, or Tony hawk or Mia Hamm it would be nice to pull out a couple thousand dollars to donate, but as a struggling beach player, I need all the help I can get! Thanks for your consideration in the effort to help those in need. The BONUS days to donate are Dec 29th, Dec 30th when they award more points towards out charity. Way to "win" are most money raised (anyone know Bill Gates?) or most unique donors. So even 100 people donating $10 would win over Shaq and Lebron donating $100,000!! Yay!! REMEMBER... all donations are tax deductible and this is a great way to make a difference in the future of kids and families!! Thanks!
