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.

You can support our efforts to make a difference for those in Africa less fortunate than us.  We are hoping to raise $3000 for World Vision by running the Chicago Marathon - that's 26.2 miles - on October 11.  That comes to about $30 per quarter mile in the marathon.   Please consider sponsoring us for a quarter mile (or more!) in this effort.  We'll need just over 100 sponsors to make our goal. 

A marathon effort is required to fight the ruthless impact of drought, AIDS and HIV on poverty stricken communities in Africa.  I hope you will join us in our cause when we run with Team World Vision this October.

Supporting our effort is simple - choose one of the following ways:

1) Make an online donation by clicking on the SPONSOR ME NOW button on this page   - OR -

2) Make a donation "offline" by sending a check payable to World Vision to our home address and we will submit on your behalf

We also covet your prayers for our health and safety as we prepare for the big run!Thanks for your partnership and help!   Terry & Andrea
