Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I have been becoming a Christian most of my life.  I choose this word "becoming" for a good reason.  Coming into a relationship with God is not something that I alone can take credit for, it has required the support of peers, family, professors, pastors, and the Church around the world that I have never met to pull me through the difficult times and give me the vision and wisdom necessary to know God fully.  I know that I am not alone in my thankfulness to those that have helped me to come to know the Lord.  Like myself, I know that many of you also have had someone special that has brought God into your life.  Thus, in hopes of allowing everyone to have an influence like the ones that I have been fortunate enough to receivce I will be running the St. Louis Marathon in hopes of raising money for My Hope, a division of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.  My Hope is a program that is designed to share the love and message of Jesus Christ with those who may not ever receive it otherwise.  If you have the ability to sponsor me in this event, that would be greatly appreciated, but I know that money is tight for many people, and I want to assure you that nothing will mean more to me than you wellwishes and prayers. 

“The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.”  -- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
