My personal message:

Hi,
For those of you who do not know me my name is Sue and I am training for the Chicago Marathon. I am the mother of 3 Drew 20, Sara 18 and Haley 16. The wife of 1, John. I have been running marathons since 1994. The Chicago will be lucky 13! What makes this marathon so special is that I, along with others have joined  Team World Vision to make a difference in the life of a child.
 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 family has known first hand just how rewarding sponsorship of a  child can be. It has impacted our lives as much as our sponsor child. For more information about our efforts please click the video link.

You can support my efforts through Team World Vision:

or

Thank you!

Sue Bechard
