Eugene Oregon Half Marathon
Hey Family and Friends!
I am running the Eugene half Marathon on May 1st 2010. I love Living Water International so I would like to run and raise money for them at the same time. So I am asking you to join with me for Team Living Water! If you haven't heard of this cause it is an organization that drills wells in countries where there is no clean water, or entire villages are walking miles to fill up their jugs of contaminated water. Let's change that!!!
What can you do? I am asking you to consider sponsoring me for this charity, giving water in Jesus' name to the people all over the world that are in need. Make sure you click on the video to the left to watch a clip of how this organisation works.
Many women spend 15-20 hours per week collecting water, often walking up to 7 miles in the dry season. So I'll be running 13 miles to help them not have to walk that distance every couple of days. The worst part is that they walk that far to collect contaminated water that they bring home to their families so that they can survive.
In a nation where we have so much, giving so that others may live even a little better shouldn't be the dilemma that it sometimes is, we are told to care for those in need, so together lets bring water to our thirsty world-and quench that thirst both spiritually and physically.
Please join TEAM LIVING WATER and sponsor me for this amazing charity!! I promise to run my little legs off!! :P

Remember $1 = clean water for 1 person for 1 year.
