Update: I finished the 2009 Chicago Marathon in 4 hours and 54 minutes!

Please consider a donation to World Vision to help the children of Africa.

Thank you for your support and encouragement!

I'm in training to do something I've never done before...to run a marathon.

I'll be running in the Chicago Marathon in October of 2009 to raise money for World Vision.

Please consider donating to world vision so that the children of Africa can have clean and safe drinking water.

Everyone should have clean water to drink.

I have decided to dedicate my running in memory of:
 

Irene Kamba (my mother in law) who died on 7/4/09

and

Ethel Brown (my step-mother) who died 5/7/09.

As part of my training I ran the 2009 Chicago Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon (13.1 miles) and finished in 2 hours and 6 minutes.
