Great Big Run for Africa!
Hi Ladies,
We are at it again. I am looking for your support to help raise funds for women in Africa to support their families through the creation of their own businesses! Apparently our donations over the past three years have made a huge impact and the recipient organizations are planning to move into more rural areas. One of our coordinators of the run took the opportunity to travel to Africa late this summer and is more impressed with what our funds have done than ever.
I am not sure that I will ever afford the trip...but I am so motivated by the stories of others.
The four of us organizing the event have set a crazy goal of raising $100,000 this year. We started out with $7,000 when I ran the 100km and then it rose to $30,000 the following year and over $40,000 last year.
So I have to pull up my socks and raise more money. Patty and Dawn ran with us last year....and anyone is welcome to join us but I have to say that fundraising is the name of the game. So, if you would like to donate or run and fundraise, let me know.
I will try to make it out one of these Sat. in the near future. I will definitely be at the half Oct. 12.
Love you all!
Stephanie

Holy Crap it's September 6th!
Is anyone else taken aback by the date already???
I am looking forward to seeing you Saturday am... it's been FOREVER since I've made it out. I have injured my knee but am hoping i'll be cleared for a short, light run and I don't work until 10 so I can have a quick coffee with a few old friends before I need to take off.
Anyone else going to be there this Sat? What are your plans??
I'll be there at 7am for a quick one.
Leslie? are you back??
