Through the fundraising efforts of 1,000 runners (like me), we raised enough money to build 170 clean water wells and 2,500 sanitary latrines which will create a 75% reduction of waterborne diseases among children in Southern Zamiba.<\/p>\n

Isn’t that exciting? I thought so and wanted to say thank you again for your support of my goals, but also for the children in Zambia.<\/p>\n
