Simple Numbers

Day 5 of tweeting and blogging in support of Born To Fly International's crowdfunding campaign.

The numbers behind the campaign:

The goal is to raise $81,000 by asking 9,000 to chip in $9 by 9-9-9.

How do we find 9,000 people?

I tell 9 people. We are 10.
Those 9 each tell 9 more. 81 new people. We are 91.
The next 81 each tell 9 more. 729 new people. We are 820.
The next 729 each tell 9 more. 6,561 new people. We are 7,381.
The next 6,561 each tell 9 more. 59,049 new people. We are 66,430.

It night not go exactly like that, but it could. The numbers are simple.
Your $9 contribution is hugely important. But please, tell a friend or two or three or nine and ask them to pass it on!

Participate. Encourage others. Simple.
