Guess what?
I signed up to run a 1/2 marathon!
Seriously.
I am paying to run.
First of all, its for a good cause.
Clean water for children and communities in Africa.
Many people, including children have to walk an average of 3 miles one way
to get water - and it’s often not even safe to drink.
Second, I just felt convicted about doing this.
We were in church one Sunday, back in May, and we heard a
guy sharing his story about training and running a 1/2 marathon,
and how it changed his life and the lives of so many others.
And it was then that I knew it was just something I needed to do.
I want to be a part of something bigger than myself.
To join with others and help raise money to give people access to clean water.
I needed to get out of a rut I was in.
A mental, physical and spiritual rut.
Running a 1/2 marathon is not something I can do on my own -
but it is something I can do with the Lord’s strength and help!
So - I am :)

And I want to invite you to join with me…
not by running - but by changing lives, bringing clean water to children.
I want to run 1 mile for 2 children.
A 1/2 marathon is 13 miles.
13miles x 2children = 26total children.
$50 brings clean water to 1 child.
$50 x 26children = $1,300 (which represents 13 miles).
