Chicago here we come! It's a crazy thought. 26.2 miles. Over 4 hours (more than likely) of non-stop running. That's what the training is about, that's what the shoes are about, that's what the headbands, the stretching, the protein shakes, the early morning runs, the late night runs, the 100 degree short runs and the 95 degree long runs, and about 500 of miles of training are all about. All that is to just be able to cross the finish line on our own will.

This webpage is not about the race. The race has been paid for. It will happen. It will be great and fun and life changing and could happen completely seperate of anything else. Our group, however, is choosing to use this race for awareness and to raise funds for World Vision.

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 my efforts through Team World Vision by making a one-time tax-deductible donation.You can cheer us on, you can pray for us, you can give us encouraging words during training or even bring us water for our saturday training runs. Nothing, however, will put a bigger smile on our face than to see our efforts towards the race be used to raise money for a cause we're excited to stand/run for.
