My Run For Eagles Wings Children's Village

“The best way to find yourself
Is to lose yourself in the service of others." 

-Mahatma Gandhi

I am so excited to run a 10 km race in Uganda on October 5! I expect running in Africa to be much the same as visiting it; full of challenge and adventure, and to run in a place that I love so very much. . . there just are no words.

I'll be raising funds for Eagles Wings Children's Village, an orphanage that I have a longstanding relationship with. I am not just running to cross this off my bucket list, I am running for these children that I love so deeply. I run so that I can raise funds and awareness so that the world they live in might become just a little bit better.

Will you join me in this by sponsoring my run? Funds raised will go towards a much needed latrine for the elementary school and any remaining funds into the general fund to help provide care for these precious children. As a water and sanitation engineer, latrines make my heart happy. Especially knowing that these children will have a safe and sanitary one to use, a privilege 2.5 billion people around the world don't have. Thank-you from the bottom of my heart.
