Sometimes, if you want to make a big change, you need to have a BHAG – a Big Hairy Audacious Goal. Help me achieve mine.
I have a friend who is currently training to do a bike ride, here in New Zealand, that’s 1500 km (932miles long).
The ride is called Sounds to Sounds
Up mountains, across steams, gravel roads, dirt tracks.
It’s a B.H.A.G.
Big Hairy Audacious Goal
She has challenged me to set a B.H.A.G. myself.
So here it is
300 people giving
$3 per month to Turning the Page
by the end of the 2024
Breaking it down even further that’s 10c per day per person.
Currently, 10 people give on a monthly basis. It averages at $3.75 per person per month.
Turning the Page is not sustainable at this level of support.
When I look at that B.H.A.G. number, I feel surprised, scared, apprehensive.
But I’m also excited at the potential for how this level of giving could change things for thousands of people around the world.
- For privacy reasons, I can’t tell you the stories of the people that email me.
- I also can’t tell you the stories of the 702 people last month that read God, I Want to die – because they’re anonymous and that’s why they came
What I can tell you is that someone somewhere in the world at this very moment is getting help
So, can you give $3 US per month?
Help me achieve my B.H.A.G.
Here is how
- Fill out the Red donor box form below
- Choose $3 (or more if you are able)
- Click on ‘Next’ and follow the instructions given
I’ll keep you updated on how the BHAG is going.
BHAG press-ups and planks
Every time there is a monthly donation commitment, I will do ten press-ups to celebrate. I will video record me doing them and send a video to you.
So, just doing the numbers, that’s 300 times 10, which equal 3000 press-ups by the end of 2024
My friend, Sharon, who is doing the bike ride, will do a 30 second plank for every monthly donor.

A true BHAG (Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals) is clear and compelling, serves as a unifying focal point of effort, and acts as a catalyst for team spirit.
It has a clear finish line, so the organization can know when it has achieved the goal; people like to shoot for finish lines.
A BHAG engages people—it reaches out and grabs them.
It is tangible, energizing, highly focused. People get it right away; it takes little or no explanation.”
