Hello Everyone,
These days, too many people confine their EXERCISES to jumping to conclusions, stretching the truth, bending over backwards, lying down on the job, sidestepping responsibilities and pushing their luck...
Statistics show that 26,000 to 30,000 children die each year due to poverty. What is even more shocking is that out of 1.9 billion children from developing countries, 640 million are without adequate shelter, 400 million with no access to safe water and 270 million have no health services.
To make matters worse, for every $1of aid a developing country receives, over $25 is spent on debt repayment. To lightly put it, 40% of the world's population accounts for 5% of the total global income.
What a world this would be if we could forget our troubles as easily as we forget our blessings!
For those of you who may know me, I am always up for a good challenge. But this experience has by far been one of the most significant and meaningful events of my life. Knowing that I share a common goal with my friends and family towards eliminating poverty has encouraged me to appreciate life and to do my best, not only at running, but at every single challenge life brings us.
Just remember, "The best EXERCISE for strengthening the HEART is reaching down and lifting people UP" -Ernest Blevins
