Running for a Reason

Other than good health, stress relief, and the fact that it is occasionally fun, I've found a new reason to run. Presenting the Grace Community Church


Run for a Reason 5K
and
One Mile Fun Run
Saturday, April 5
9:00 a.m. start
Rossview Middle School

All proceeds will be donated to the blood:water mission 1000 Wells Project!

1000 Wells Project
  • Did you know that millions of Africans lack access to clean water?
  • Did you know that people living with HIV/AIDS are dependent on clean water to survive?
  • Did you know that $1 provides one year of clean water for an African?
  • Did you know that YOU can help save lives?
    The 1000 Wells Project is building 1000 wells in 1000 African communities. Businesses, churches, schools, artists and individuals are collecting funds so they can sponsor the construction of wells in Africa. Your participation will give Africans the gift of clean water to protect them from life-threatening illnesses. Women and children will no longer walk up to 10 miles a day to get water. People with HIV will live stronger, longer lives. Communities will flourish and be changed. Your participation can help save lives.

I think that's a pretty cool reason to run. You can register at www.active.com!
