My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fund-raising page.

Yes, I ran the Chicago Marathon on 12 October and finished in 6 hours and 9 minutes! It was a hot day, as the temperature soared to 84 degrees! I also sponsored a child from Zambia, whose picture was pinned to my jersey during the race.

World Vision is doing an awesome job in helping people around the world who live in despair and dire need. I care. And so I ran with a purpose. It was 26.2 miles, but all the glory goes to God who in His awesome love and mercy, strengthend me. (see Hebrews 12: 1-12)

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.

All the money raised goes toward the work of World Vision. You can support my efforts through Team World Vision:
