Labor Day weekend means that our Marathon for Malawi Team is one month away from taking to the streets of Chicago to raise money for World Vision's work in Nkohma. (Cool video here.)
In the picture above are Jan, Dan, me, and Jon (whom you have already met) Jan is our experienced marathoner, and Dan, a young Dad with a one-year old at home, is running his first. They are part of a team of runners that are made up of a lot of different folks of different shapes, sizes, speeds, and goals for the race with one aim: Making the lives of kid in Malawi better in the name of Jesus. Some of us have been to Malawi, others of us are running because family members have been part of church teams. Most all of us are supporting kids in Malawi through their child sponsorship programs.
We are still training, (18 miler this week--I am running 5 miles before I line up for the Disneyland Half Marathon on Labor Day) and you could encourage us a by making a donation if you haven't, linking to your blog if you have one, or telling a friend about us.
