This is something I can do!  Go, Team World Vision!  Completing the Chicago Marathon with TWV was such a thrill.  Knowing that we did it to benefit children and their families in Africa was fantastic.  I praised the Lord the whole way!  Now when I see my husband and boys wearing shirts that say "26.2 for Africa,"  I get excited about the prospect of doing it again!  The need is great!  The children need the Lord and clean water, good food, education, and healthcare.

This year I'm going to split it up - 13.1 on May 3, at the Frederick Running Festival and 13.1 on October 10, at the Baltimore Running Festival.  It will be the Maryland Double for Jesus!

Will you partner with me?  Please consider sponsoring a child, giving a donation or strapping on your running shoes and coming with me!!

Now more than ever we need to give!

P.S.  I am trusting the Lord to raise up $5000. and see 5 children find a sponsor!  Can the Lord use you?
