My personal message:

I never thought I would run a marathon. 
But when the challenge came out to run for kids in Africa so they could have clean water, that was all the motivation I needed to sign up for the Chicago Marathon this coming autumn.  I am running for World Vision, an organization that tackles 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.
Every day when I train for this event I am reminded that I am running not to stay in shape, but so kids can have a chance at life. 

I am nearly done the training.  Just 9 more days to go. 

Please consider supporting this worthwhile cause.

My goal is to raise $1200, i am trying to connect 120 people to give at least $10 each...that is like buying a case of clean water for kids who would otherwise go without.
