Hey friends and family! So it is only August but we are already in full planning mode for our January trip. This weekend we are running in a half marathon in VA beach. It’s a first for both of us!! A friend suggested we turn our race into a fundraiser and we think its a great idea. We are asking our friends and family to think about donating dollars for the miles we run. The full amount of miles is 13.1 and what we would ask is that you commit to a dollar amount per mile. It could be any amount $0.50, $1, $2, $3, $4 or whatever you feel able to give! We will do our part and bust our butts running!
Here is our plan for the money we are able to raise. We are saving our own money as well and will use as much as we can put aside but what we feel lead to do we cannot do alone.
First some way some how we want to feed all the people that come out a meal. With the malnutrition and lack of food and water there we think it’d be great and it will give us a chance to meet as many people as possible.
Also we would love to provide a basket of food for each family such as a bag of beans, rice, oil, pasta, for every family to take home.
We also want to have a gift bag for each woman and each child that we would be able to come in contact with. We have three villages set in stone and possibly others as well so we are not sure about amounts yet but we will be working through that in the month to come and setting a budget goal.
Please if our fundraiser “money for miles” interests you, message us and let us know what amount you would like to pledge!
Thank you again for your love and support every plan we make only gets us more and more excited to do what we can for these amazing people!
