Despite having my iPod on for my run today, my inner dialogue was in overdrive, but it actually came up with a good idea!
I thought that, in addition to being a chronicle of my preparations and training, this Blog could also be used to help others, so now not only am I Running to Paris, but I am running to raise awareness of and funds for a good cause!
A while back, I read Stephen Lewis' book "Race Against Time - Searching for hope in AIDS-ravaged Africa" and I was deeply moved by the daily struggles of countless African women who are living everyday with HIV-AIDS.
I’ve chosen to support the Stephen Lewis Foundation because they put money directly into the hands of grassroots organizations that are working to turn the tide of AIDS in Africa. The money we raise will go directly to the African grandmothers, children, and women who need it most.
To donate online now, please hit the link on the right side of my Blog and together we can help turn the tide of AIDS in Africa.
Thank you!
Run, Fat Boy, Run.
