Haiti

I've just received word to today that I'll be heading to Haiti.

I'll be deploying as a paramedic attached to a team from International Medical Relief. Every time a disaster strikes, I feel moved to try and do something. Until now, apart from donating, I haven't found the proper outlet. I'm excited for the challenge, and to make a difference on the ground for a change.

The team is supposed to leave March 2, 2010, returning on the 9th. Between now and then I'll be fundraising, getting immunizations, collecting equipment, etc etc. If you'd like to donate, please visit Fong to Haiti.

This should be a new, challenging, and stressful experience. As much as possible, I will make updates regarding the trip on this blog. I'm not sure I will be able to update once on the ground, but I promise an after-action brief. Thanks in advance for everyone's help and support.
