Our organization is so close to reaching our goal and being able to bring clean water to 21,250 people in Africa. I’m still $780 away from hitting my goal before the Grand Rapids Marathon on October 15th. I hope there are those that would be willing to partner with me to bring clean water to those that need it.

During my run, most of my thoughts were on the Sierra Leone team…

    Returning to Vitamin D3

    After having had a few colds this past winter, and their negative effects on my running, I’ve decided to start taking vitamin D3 again. Having a cold while running was making it hard to breath and caused me to have a higher heartrate which was not great. I need to keep working on a the health journey I’ve been on and based on a lot of information I’ve listened to in the past most people in the U.S. are vitamin D3 deficient so it’s a good thing to do.

Anything that will help my breathing, and…

    Planning With Purpose For Clean Water And Training For A Race

    Putting in a well in Africa takes planning, which is not unlike using a training plan for running with a race as the goal. In order for a well to be successfully drilled there is a lot of planning and preparing that needs to be done. Just like in order to have a chance at hitting a race goal you have to commit to a plan. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Be the start of the plan for a new well: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr
