Website Launched

Welcome to Reasons2Run

This website was launched in order to help raise money for the different causes for which I run.  I started out doing half-marathons that benefit at risk children and Leukemia.  I have ran 3 races for Leukemia, several races to benefit children, and two races in Knoxville, TN for Covenant Health .  My next big goal is to run in Accra, Ghana next September.  The money raised goes towards a local health care system which will  aid in the maintenance of water purification, education about communicable diseases, vaccinations,  research and more.  Their focus in Accra is Longevity, since the expected age of death is only in the 50's.

I call my project Reasons2Run, because in the beginning I had no reason.  I had no motive to run.  It is much easier to run for someone else  or something else than it is for my own health.  Then running became my therapy, a way for me to meditate.  So here are my reasons to run: there are others who cannot run, there are people dying, poverty, Cancer, Leukemia, Education, Children.  I run knowing that the awareness I'm raising helps foundations to gain the tools they need in order to damper the distress of the suffering.

Help me raise awareness, or help me to raise funds for these causes by telling others about me and my site or by making a donation.

You are appreciated!
