Hello Friends. Next Sunday, the 8th, I 'officially' begin training for Cincinnati's Flying Pig Marathon, held May 6. I'd love your prayers and encouragement as I prepare.
This will be my 3rd Marathon and I am looking forward to it like a kid anticipates his birthday. I've heard that the course is fairly challenging, and I welcome that.
One tangible way you can support me is by making a donation to the Not For Sale campaign. Not For Sale works to help free and educate
as many of the 30 million slaves living all over the world (more than ever in the history of our planet) as they possibly can. One aspect of NFS is the work of Kru Nam in Thailand. Kru Nam bravely stands up to
the human trafficking and sex trade that affects thousands of children in Thailand. The kids Kru Nam and her friends rescue from the sex trade are rehabilitated and then
educated and given vocational training in order to make a way for themselves.
Would you consider supporting me and helping bring freedom and opportunity to folks who desperately need our help? You could do so by following this link to Not For Sale's donation page and making either
a 1 time donation or signing up to make recurring monthly donations. In April, 2011 I ran the Pittsburgh Marathon in 3:59:38.If you choose the 1 time donation, I suggest you base your donation on an amount ($2?)
per minute I take off my time this year. I plan to take about 30 minutes off :)
Either way, please let me know your plans so I can keep track of our collective efforts. Feel free to post on my Facebook wall or comment on my blog where I will keep you up to date on my training and fundraising.
Grace and Peace
