This post is a little different from normal and is for the 12for12k Challenge, the charity project I founded for 2009.

It’s to tell you about the special 12for12k Tweet-a-Thon, which takes place on Twitter between 10.00am and 10.00pm Eastern on Thursday March 19 (today). This is the unique 12-hour Tweet event to raise money for this month’s charity, Share Our Strength, which combats child hunger in the US. The Tweet-a-Thon is Scott Stratten (@unmarketing) ‘s baby.

It’s very simple – $12 gets you entry into the draw for the prizes on this page.

Simply make your donation using the ChipIn widget either in the sidebar or at the bottom of this page. You’ll get a tax receipt from Share Our Strength as well as an automatic entry into the draw. We’ll do the rest for you.

All you need to do is follow the #12for12k hashtag on Twitter to keep up with what’s happening, as there will also be special flash giveaways every time we break a $1,000 threshold.

Now, in his own inimitable way, I’ll let Scott tell you all about it and his special offer for anyone donating $120. Thanks for your support, and let’s feed some hungry kids together.
