Welcome to 2010 Asses! My new blog project for 2010.
10 people, 10 Goals, $10,000 raised for charity
During BareAss 2008!, I was inspired by a talk I heard from Sharmen Lane on the 3 C’s to Success.
1. Commit
2. Communication
3. Create
During Bare Ass 2008!
- I committed to the goal of raising money for hunger relief while working to lose weight and overcome lifelong body issues.
- I communicated this goal to friends, family and the world through my blog. And by raising money for Feeding America, I made myself accountable to my goal.
- I created White Girl With a Fat Ass, came in third in the Former Phat Fcuks weight loss competition/ improv show at the PIT, and to date have raised over $3000 for hunger relief.
Do you have a goal you would like to communicate, commit to, and work towards creating in 2010? Will you step up and be one of my 2010 Asses? I am looking for 10 people with a goal they want to achieve in 2010 who will commit to working to raise $1000 each towards the charity of their choice. Bare Ass 2008! was a life changing experience for me, and I want to start 10 new people on the same journey.
2010 Asses communicating 10 goals and working to raise $10,000 in 2010.
In turn, I will do regular posts on the 2010 Asses to give updates on their progress thus communicating these goals to the world. And guess what? We have our first 2010 Ass – Chris Richardson
His goal is to run the New York City half marathon on March 21st and to Raise $1000 for Free Arts NYC.
This will be my third 1/2 marathon in a year (2nd NYC 1/2). The 09 NYC 1/2
was in August and it was really humid so I am excited that they moved it to
April. I’m in my third week of training. This is the first time I am
following an actual training schedule. Last year I just ran what I felt
like running. This was the fist time that the NYC 1/2 used a lottery for
entry and unfortunately I didn’t get picked. My back up plan was to join
one of the many charities that offer an automatic spot if you raise money
for them. Why not help someone out. I spent an hour deciding what was the
best charity for me. I figured that most people are quick to pick a
foundation for cancer research (not that I have anything against that). I
picked Free Arts NYC because of how they help out abused/homeless/neglected
children. I have a soft spot for kids and since my wife is pregnant with
our first child I just had to help raise money for these kids that are in
these situations at no fault of their own. At then same time I am helping
myself by being active and hopefully it will allow me to be ready for the
Full NYC marathon in November. If I win the lottery. -Christopher Richardson

Please pass this information around to your friends and family, help support Chris’s goal, and contact me (wgwafa@gmail.com) if you have a goal of your own and want to be the next 2010 Ass! You can raise the money through another site or organization like Chris, have people donate to my CHARITY BADGE if you would like to raise money for Feeding America, or even set up your own charity badge through the Network for Good for any number of valuable causes including Haiti Earthquake relief.

Any questions, comment below and I will be happy to answer. This is an evolving blog project much like Bare Ass 2008! was and I look forward to ride.
