Our personal message:
UPDATE: I ran the race this morning and finished in 1:46:36 - I was shooting for under 2:00, so I was thrilled. I did my part - can you help and do yours?

Thanks for stopping by and checking out how you can help make a difference in lives around the world with just a few dollars and clicks. I am participating in the Missoula 1/2 Marathon on July 13th and would love to use this opportunity to benefit those less fortunate than me.

As a founding member of target='mytarget'Rockstar Runners, I am proud to be partnering with 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.

My parents are currently in Mongolia for two months doing missions work and have slept in a Mongolian ger. For $1862, we can protect a family from the -40°F temperatures and icy winds that whip across this barren region during the long winter months. These traditional one-room dwellings are constructed of durable, felt-lined canvas stretched over a wooden frame and floor to withstand severe weather conditions. We will also be able to purchase furniture based on the needs of the family, such as a bed, storage chest, table, and stools.

Thanks for reading - I hope you will join the team and be a part of this effort! I'll do the running... all you have to do is give money!
