Time to Run!!!



Everyone, check this out!!

So thanks to social networking I found out about this organization called As Our Own. Here is a little bit about them:




"We are a Christ-based, community-driven movement in India that rescues vulnerable children from certain enslavement and exploitation, caring for them as our own."

So here is what I want you to know. I am going to help raise money for this organization by running in a 10K coming up in March.

OK, kelsey, what can I do? So glad that you asked!

Will you sponsor me? I am going to try and raise $300. That's 30 people at $10. Or 15 people at $20. Or 60 people for $5....and so on.

So what does $300 get As our Own? Here is what the website said:

If you raise $300, you will help our staff transition children rescued from the red light district into our family.

If you raise $750
, you will fund programs in Lighthouse Churches which combat cycles of abuse and offer a solution of hope.

If you raise $1,500, you will fund two months of transportation so our children can receive the best education in the area.

Interested? Go here to donate and cheer me on as I run in my first 10K!
