My personal message:

Greetings and Salutations!

Did you know more than half the world lives on less than $2 a day? Additionally, did you know that every 5 seconds a child dies in a third world country because of malnutrition?

I was shocked to find out the facts above. As a result, I wanted to help out in anyway that I could. I decided that I would run the Chicago Marathon this October and assist in a fundraising effort to do my part in trying to save some lives.

World Vision works to tackle the root causes of poverty by working with children, families, and their communities to provide things like: clean water, health care, nutritious food, education, and economic opportunities.
