I have a good friend who is running in the Twin Cities Marathon this weekend to raise money for the 143 Million orphans that live in our world. As I was thinking about her this morning and all the training she has done to prepare for her 26 mile journey, I was reminded of her passion to unite orphans with their forever families. For most of us, to live without family is incomprehensible. We have no idea what it means to not belong to anyone. Think on that for a moment...then think on the fact that there are 143 million children in our world today...who live this way. They belong to no one yet long to have a family. It is those thoughts that drive my friend to push her body to run for almost four hour with the hope that she can impact the life of even just one of those children.
If you would like to sponsor my running friend, you can send donation to Katelyn's fund www.katelynsfund.org and note that your donation is for the marathon. Katelyn's fund is an organization that give grants to families that are in the adoption process, helping with the financial aspect of adoption, so that one more child can have a forever family. Toni
