My personal message:

World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to tackling 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.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please consider what you can do and donate online.  Through Team World Vision I am hoping to raise $2000 to provide clean water for a village in Zambia, Africa.  I also want to encourage readers to sponsor a child for $35 a month.  The money provides a child with food, clothing, and an education. I know that we cannot save every child and family dying of malnutrition and disease around the world but we can save some.  Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate.  So please consider what you can do. Jan and I have sponsored numerous children over the years through World Vision and it has been gratifying.   Many thanks for your consideration.

"I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine you did for me (Jesus)."  Matthew 24:40

Please do pray for us and email your friends and family and let them know about this.  The more people we can get involved the more children and families in desperate circumstances can be encouraged, and helped through World Vision.

I have joined a team of about 30 people from Shelter Rock Church  that will be running 26.2 miles in the Chicago Marathon on Sunday October 12th to raise money and support for this cause.  You can support my efforts through Team World Vision by doing the following:
