I'm running with Team World Vision to help provide life-changing clean water to children and communities in the developing world.

I began running just 4 months after the death of my youngest son, Gabriel. I ran my very first Half Marathon on the one year anniversary of his funeral. He would have turned 6 this year. His big brother Sam, who died in 2012, would be 12. Running has become part of my healing process.

Did you know that over 800 children under age 5 die every day from diarrhea caused by contaminated water, poor sanitation, and improper hygiene?

Eight HUNDRED children a day.

I know the horror of holding two dying children knowing there was nothing I could do.

THIS. This is something I can do. 

Would you help me bring clean water to families and honoring our boys by donating? Nothing would make my heart happier than knowing that Sam and Gabriel are being celebrated by helping save the lives of little ones around the world.
