Blogust Will Reach 10,000 Comments Today!

Big news – Blogust will reach 10,000 comments today!

In other words, one of the coolest, most amazing social good projects we have been ever worked on will reach its most important milestone today.

A little background … Blogust: The Blog Relay for Good has been a 31-day “relay” of blog posts, one per day for the whole month of August, with each post linking to the next in the relay.  For every comment on the 31 posts, a $20 donation has been made to Shot@Life, an initiative of the United Nations Foundation to provide life-saving vaccines to children who need them most, and as of today, we will reach the top number, $200,000 for 10,000 comments!

That means that 10,000 kids around the world will receive four life-saving vaccines to protect against measles, pneumonia, diarrhea and polio.  Fantastic, right?!

The Blogust blog posts have been absolutely gorgeous.  We highly recommend reading all their posts!

Today, Stacey Ferguson, Justice Fergie, will take us to 10,000 comments, and then Jyl Johnson Pattee, Mom It Forward, will post on Thursday and Jim Lin, The Busy Dad, will post on Friday, bringing Blogust to a grand finale.  Please visit their blogs and comment as we all take Blogust to the finish line!

We have loved working with the UN Foundation, the Shot@Life team, the incredible Blogust bloggers, and with Chrysula Winegar and Morra Aarons-Mele to bring Blogust to life.

Congratulations all around!!!
