My personal message:

We're delighted to be running with Team World Vision to support its good work.  We've been running recreationally for many years and have entered 5- and 10K races, but we've never run more than about 7 miles, so 26 miles seems big!    But we have big help, wide and long and deep and high, and everything is possible! 

Please pray for the children World Vision is supporting, who lost their parents to AIDS.

John and Peggy
