And this has triggered a massive tsunami which totally devastated the nation&#8217;s east coast, leaving thousands of people dead and many thousands more missing or injured.<\/p>\n<p>The last I heard there are over half a million people currently homeless and living in temporary shelters. I&#8217;m sure you must have seen some of the footage about this on television and online. It&#8217;s just mind boggling I can&#8217;t even imagine how horrible this must be for the people living in Japan right now.<\/p>\n<p>Now obviously I&#8217;m going to do my part and donate money to the Japanese relief efforts and try and help these people out. But I&#8217;d like to do something on a larger scale to provide even more help for those who were are affected by this natural disaster.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>So this is where I need your help&#8230;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>You see I&#8217;m going to hold a special promotion from March 17 to March 25 for my <strong>&#8220;Blast Your Biceps&#8221;<\/strong> muscle building arm specialization training system. And I&#8217;m going to <U>donate 100% of the money<\/u> generated from this promo to the <strong>Red Cross Japanese Tsunami Relief Fund.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And to kick things off I&#8217;m going to donate $1,000 of my own money along with 100% of all the money generated from this special <strong>&#8220;Blast Your Biceps&#8221;<\/strong> promotion.<\/p>\n<p>Now I realize that this is still quite small compared to the billions of dollars in damages that have been caused by the tsunami over in Japan. But I believe that every little bit counts. So if we can all chip in together and do our part, the combined efforts will make a difference.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img827.imageshack.us\/img827\/4097\/japanchart001.jpg\" alt=\"Money Raised So Far...\" \/><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to say a BIG Thank You to everyone who participated in this special promotion.
