I have developed a love for running. I want to use my sport as a vehicle to raise money. Currently, I am raising money to fight Hunger. It started as we were participating in the Hunger Challenge at church. I attend Grace Community Church in Noblesville, In. http://www.gracecc.org/ and here http://www.gracecc.org/hunger/ We were challenged to eat rice & beans for a week and donate time to pack meals for kids who don't get sufficient food. I found out that some kids are fed cookies made of mud and vegetable oil. Just to stop hunger pains. I wanted to rise about the challenge and raise funds by obtaining pledges for my upcoming 1/2 marathon. This is still a challenge to me and requires months of preparation. But the bigger picture is to run for a cause. I will receive, chips, bananas, pretzels, water and chocolate milk at the finish line. Kids in my hometown and around the world will receive less than that sometimes for a week. I am asking for donations towards my cause. Will you help?

My goal for this project is $500. We did the rice and beans challenge at church and saved $75 which I will be contributing to the total goal.
