This book shows you how to fund it." A True Story That Started It All About four years ago, I did something crazy. I got in a small boat with seven friends and sailed across the North Sea—from Edinburgh to Stavanger—for charity. It took six days, was grueling and sleepless, and we finished completely spent, but we raised $12,000. That experience didn’t just change how I saw charity—it shaped how I approach fundraising: with creativity, commitment, and a clear sense of purpose.
