I've Joined Team World Vision

Over the next few months, I am running and riding with Team World Vision to help change lives in Africa and Haiti. I have entered a series of trail running and cycling events that will act as a platform for me to raise money for this important cause.

World Vision works with communities in desperate need to help provide things like clean water, nutritious food, education, medical care, and economic opportunity.

As I participate in athletic events over the next few months, I will be asking friends, family, and members of the community to join with me in supporting this important cause. Whether you can donate $1 or $1,000, your support will both bless the people of Africa and Haiti and encourage me to "run with perseverance the races marked out for me." (Hebrews 12:1.)

Here is a list of the events in which I will be participating as a member of Team World Vision:

Trail Running Events:

Chollas Lake 5K Trail Run

Black Mountain Summit 7K Trail Run

Mission Driven Eco Run 10k Trail Run

XTERRA Mission Gorge 5k Trail Run

XTERRA Black Mountain 5k Trail Run

Cycling Events:

Bike the Bay 2010

Tour de Poway

Warrior's Society Toad Festival
