My Story…
Hey friends,
Some of you know I like to run. Now I get to run for something bigger than myself!
I'm participating in the marathon's fundraiser and have chosen to support Growing the Grassroots.
Who are they?
The tldr is they address food insecurity in Sierra Leone. I recommend you read some more on their website https://www.growingthegrassroots.org/.
Why did I choose them?
I just felt a strong internal conviction. You could consider it supernatural and/or gut instinct, but I saw the option and knew I was going to pursue this fundraiser.
How did I come up with this goal?
In honor of running my fourth marathon, I want to reach 400 people who are willing to pledge 10 cents per mile of my race. That's just $2.62! There is some egg on my face, because this website accepts $5 minimums; however, anyone donating to me directly, I am making the online contributions on their behalf.
Are there ways to help other than giving money?
If you can't donate, I get it, I'm broke too. If you don't want to, I get it too, there's a million causes out there asking for your support. Spreading awareness is helpful! So look into their website and tell a friend!
Thank you to everyone for coming together and making a difference <3
