Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. So what am I raising money for this time?? :)

Who?: Samaritan's Purse is an awesome organization. I have always been thoroughly impressed with the work that they're doing. Unfortunately while I'm still in school I am limited in how involved I can be, yet I am not comfortable with doing absolutely nothing.  I enjoy running, so as a result I figured I would push myself and do something challenging and try to raise money for a greater cause while doing so.  

What for?: I'm raising money for Prescription for Hope/Be The Virus: A Christian Response to Aids/HIV. For more information about the work they're doing check out these two sites: 

Prescription for Hope

Be The Virus

How?: I'm going to put on my running shoes and bust a move on Nov. 1st, 2009 in Raleigh, NC. For information on the race I'm running check out:  City of Oaks Marathon

Why?: The truth is, the AIDS/HIV crisis seems to not have a significant impact on my life.  I live in a nice apartment. I have meals and never go hungry. I have a family that has been blessed with good health (mostly). To me, AIDS/HIV is a problem that is only real in name, yet this crisis is devastating the lives of many.  One day, my hope is to be able to work with these people personally, but while I'm finishing up grad school I would like to do something in the meantime to help make a difference. No, running a race isn't going to solve the problem but like the "Be the Virus" webpage says, "Every action, no matter how small, can bring about change." Silence isn't an option for me; neither are words without action.  

I'm not asking you to run with me (although I sure would love the company). I'm asking you to learn more about the AIDS/HIV crisis and to consider making a donation to Samaritan's Purse "Prescription for Hope."  My goal is $1000. If we get more than that, AWESOME. If I don't make that goal, that is ok too!  After all, "every action, no matter how small can bring about change." 

Thank you SOOOO much for your support!  I'm really excited to see what we can accomplish together!

Much love,

Brit
