ON Saturday the number of pledges was 75. 3 days later it is 106. The next phase is asking men to "Get Involved" on the website. Some of the actions only take 5 miutes but we need to move on to that.
The first 100 pledges took about 4 weeks. I'm sure the next 100 won't take half as long. Roll on the first 1000. We've got more than 1200 on facebook so we'll get there soon.
