MARATHON training started this week. I’m not entirely sure how DH talked me into this. But, to keep me motivated, I decided to do it for a good cause: Team Free A Family.
Team Free A Family is an exciting alternative to child sponsorship. Rather than giving a handout to one specific child, Free A Family uses proven community development techniques to help families and communities work together to free themselves from poverty. I have visited several countries where World Renew works, and am always struck by how proud the parents are that they can now feed their children and send them to school.
The following video explains the program a bit more:
If you’re in the Grand Rapids, MI area, I’d love to have you join our team! You can run the half, full, or relay.
You can also run virtually.
I’m planning to run the half marathon at the Grand Rapids Marathon (October 18) and a full marathon at the Tucson Marathon (December 6).
If you’re not into the whole running / fundraising thing, please consider contributing $22 towards the cause. For just $22, you can free a family for one month.
