On October 7th I am going to be taking part in something pretty crazy.... I'm going to run the Chicago Marathon.  26.2 grueling miles.  I am doing it on behalf of the world's most vulnerable children.  The situation is desperate... and desperate times call for desperate measures.  Please condider joining me by either running the marathon with me as part of Team World Vision, by donating here thru my webpage, or sponsoring a child.

In Africa, an entire generation is dying. Mothers. Fathers. Teachers. Farmers. Even pastors. Working men and women. Dead.

15 million children have been orphaned due to AIDS (That's around the same as the total number of high school students in the U.S.)

6,000 people die everyday of the disease.

In 2005 more than 2.8 million people died becuase because of AIDS - That's equal to a plague killing off the entire population of Chicago.

Every day more than 29,000 children die, mostly due to preventable/treatable diseases and lack of clean water.

But this is not a hopeless situation. Not if people like us are willing to stand up and use their One Life to Do Something about it.

There are two simple ways that you can support my efforts:

1) Click the link in the text box below, and sponsor a child for $35 per month

OR

2) Click on the SPONSOR ME NOW button at the bottom of the page and make an online donation.
