My personal message:

There is a deadly situation that is rocking the world as a whole. Called the "Silent Tsunami," it is the severe and growing international food shortage — one that is fast becoming a crisis.

As a result, children are slowly — yet quietly — starving to death. In fact, at this point in time, a child dies from hunger every seven seconds. That's more than 14,000 children each day from among millions more who are suffering. The voices of these suffering and dying children must be heard.

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.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and donate online.  Through Team World Vision I am hoping to raise $10,000.  I know that we cannot save every child and family dying of malnutrition and disease around the world         but we can save some.  Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate.  So please consider making a donation.   Many thanks for your support.

"I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine you did for me (Jesus)."  Matthew 24:40

Please do pray for me and email your friends and family and let them know about this.  The more people we can get involved the more children and families in desperate circumstances can be encouraged, and helped through World Vision.

I am part of team of about 30 people from Shelter Rock Church www.ShelterRockChurch.com that will be running 26.2 miles in the                       Chicago Marathon on Sunday October 12th to raise money and                              support for Team World Vision.
