On September 19, 2015, I'm running my first 10K! I've decided to celebrate this moment and help those who are less fortunate.

I started this fundraiser on Pure Charity to raise $500. Every penny of this goes to fund projects for children in extreme poverty through Compassion International that provide: 

• Ongoing Christian training
• Educational opportunities
• Treatment and training to maintain child health
• Development of self-confidence and social skills
• Key life skills and vocational programs

These powerful projects even give updates on their progress that show real results and real lives impacted! I know; I've seen it firsthand! You can read about my experience in Peru here: http://ileftmyheartinperu.wordpress.com. That's why I'm passionate about this!

I'm asking everyone I know to donate $10.00. (That's what most of us spend on one trip to Starbucks.) Would you please join with me and help raise $500 to support these projects?

My goal is to raise $500. (Or more!)

If you'd also like to sponsor a child and have a meaningful impact for years in that child's life and a real relationship with them, then please click here! 

Thank you so much for being a part of my life and helping me accomplish something that's very, very important to me.
