God has been faithful to provide me with unexpected ways to serve him through missions this year. After returning from Nicaragua on a whim, I've been asking God "what's next?" I never would've guessed the answer could be "run four half marathons this fall."
With less than four weeks before the first race, my friend Natalie convinced me to join her and the rest of the 52.4 team to complete 4 half marathons in 4 weeks! This physical challenge is more than about pushing past my limits, but it's about raising support for children suffering with HIV/AIDS in India. I would be honored to have you partner with me and sponsor my efforts to help raise funds for these sweet kids.
Through the generous support of friends, family, and local businesses, 52.4 has been able to raise over $1,800,000 in the past 18 years! All race fees are paid by me, so 100% of your donation goes directly to our cause. Thank you for your prayers as I take on this huge physical challenge, and thank you for your generosity!
Fiftytwo.four is a 501(c)3 community based non-profit organization. We operate solely on lots of amazing volunteers and donations. Any overhead costs (which are very minimal) are covered through designated donations of our board of directors. We are a very grassroots organization full of lots of amazing people that just simply want to use their lives to make a difference in lives of a lot of beautiful children in India that need our help. 100% of the money that we raise is sent to the organization that we support in India. Our money is specifically designated for the endless needs of HIV/AIDS orphans. It covers anything and everything pertaining to the needs of HIV/AIDS orphans but is designated each year based on where the greatest need is. Some ways that our funds have been spent in the past 17 years: medical needs, nutritious foods, education costs, medicine, building costs for new HIV/AIDS facilities/orphanages, vehicles to transport the children.
