<p align="center"><b>28 DAYS OF IMPACT: REQUEST FOR BENEFICIARY PROFILES</b></p>
<b>About 28 Days of Impact:</b>

In August, Shot@Life hosted a blogging relay of 31 top bloggers to raise money for vaccines. The initiative raised over $200,000 and garnered over 29 million impressions.  As a follow up, 28 Days of Impact serves as a way for our bloggers to continue raising awareness for global vaccines, and the work being done by our partners, by highlighting their impact.

For each day of February, the bloggers will write an impactful story on vaccines that they then relate to their own life or experiences. These stories will be posted on their blogs and shared with their millions of followers

&nbsp;

<b>What we are asking for:</b>

-Profiles of beneficiaries (children, parents, frontline workers etc.) that highlight the impact of polio, measles, pneumococcal and rotavirus vaccines.

-A picture to accompany the profile

&nbsp;

<i>N.B. We will share all stories written by the bloggers with you so you may have the option to use them in the future. </i>
