My Story...
Hi my name is Burkley Kneeland and I am 16 years old. Running this 5k is very important to me because I want to help make a difference in the world. This project is very similar to something that was talked about at a Forrest Frank Christian concert I went to. My sister and I heard about all these kids and families that don’t have access to clean water all over the world. We ended up sponsoring a little boy named Wabi from Ethiopia. Listening and seeing the things people have to go through that I can get so easily changed my outlook on life. I’m so grateful I can participate in this run to help support others who are less fortunate. Thank you for your support, and know you make a huge impact on families lives.
Description
I'm a member of the Tanzania Life Project team and running (and/or walking) a race as part of the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend to help bring clean water access to communities in Tanzania.
Access to clean water changes everything—health, education, and opportunity for children and families. Together through Tanzania Life Project, we’re helping make that possible.
Every mile we run and every dollar raised goes toward sustainable clean water solutions, hygiene education, and human rights governance that empowers women and girls to overcome societal barriers that limit their opportunities. That's creating lasting impact!
Join our team or donate to support a runner and be part of something bigger than the race.
