Dear Family & Friends,

Warm greetings from Japan. Again, thank you all for your caring emails, & FB messages. I loved reading them all, and though I cannot write to all of you individually right away, I will try in the coming weeks. In the meantime there is something I'd like to ask on behalf of those who suffered most from the Tohoku-kanto Daijishin (Big Earthquake of Tohoku-Kanto area).

In fact, you've all asked if there is something you can offer to me and my family, and I had to think about that while on my way home from Kyushu. And I thought of just the thing!

While my needs and those of my family are met just fine, I know there are many people less fortunate just 150 kilometers north of us.

SXSW4Japan: (South by South West Japan Tsunami & Earthquake Relief) in alliance with the RED CROSS is one meaningful way to make our contributions felt.

Please join me in making the lives of those most disrupted by donating to this site.

Thank you so much,

Mike

At SXSW this year, there's a lot of discussion and debate about influence. Now it's time to stand up and be truly influential as we raise support for tsunami relief.

Japan faces one of its most devastating natural disasters in 100 years. On March 11th, walls of water swept across rice fields, engulfing towns, dragging houses onto highways, tossing cars and boats like toys and consuming lives. The potential human loss is unimaginable, with thousands missing and early reports of hundreds reported dead. Aftershocks and additional earthquakes continue to threaten the region, sending shock waves across the nation and the world.


The CauseVox team will cover the cost of the transaction fees so 100% of your donation goes to the American Red Cross.
