About this Fundraiser

Hi Friends and Family,

On October 28, 2018, I will be participating in the 42nd annual Washing D.C. Marine Corps Marathon. I've decided to celebrate this moment by joining Africa New Life's Food and Care initiative to help the young children and families in Kigali, Rwanda and would love for you to join me!

I was introduced to Africa New Life in 2015 by some dear friends and was truly touched by their mission and purpose. In the summer of 2016, I was inspired to raise funds for their new hospital facility through my participation in the 140.6 mile Ironman challenge. Most recently, I had the opportunity to visit Africa and it was incredibly humbling to see first hand the condition under which many families and children live. Many of us hear the stories of friends and families who have visited or done mission work across Africa, but to personally witness the poverty and daily challenges, was in many ways, life changing for me.

I realized just how much we take for granted in this incredible country of ours, and once again I felt inspired to take action by taking on the challenge of raising $26,200 to assist with Africa New Life's Food and Care initiative.  This is a big goal and with your help, it will  provide 31,566 meals for kids in Rwanda! I'm very passionate about this mission and I know that every dollar raised is in the hands of an organization that always makes sure to make the greatest impact possible on the lives of so many families and children.

Pure Charity, through Africa New Life, is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) U.S. charitable organization and donations are tax deductible. I would like to ask for your help in joining me in raising $1,000 for every mile I run this October through the streets of our amazing capital. This is an ambitious goal, but it's one that is worth every effort to achieve. I know that with your support, we will make it happen and there's no question that the families and children in Kigali, Rwanda will be incredibly thankful. A donation of any amount will be greatly appreciated, yet, the GOLD standard gift is $1,000 for a full mile, the Silver level gift is $500 for a half mile and the Bronze is $250 for a quarter mile. Don't worry, I get to run all 26.2, you just get to cheer me on!

My goal is to raise $26,200 by October, 28th.

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