If running, walking, or biking that distance isn’t your thing, but you’d like to help out, please email Danielle Sill. Our training plan just began 2 weeks ago, and the team has already raised almost $28,000, providing clean water to 560 people! Please pray for the continued success as the team creeps into higher mileage and looks to fundraise enough to reach their $75,000 team goal.
