5..4..3..2..1

Five more days until the big race! I’ve been running loads (though a bit too busy with this to update the blog).

Today I had a great run around the ‘hood. I think I could have run a bit further by there were tacos waiting and my coach was tired. I am a bit nervous as we get closer to the race, but I’m looking forward to being out on the road with so many thousands of other women. And I must tell myself, there’s no shame in walking!

Now, don’t forget…I’m doing all this hard work (running the best part of 10K) to raise money for a wonderful organisation, One Home Many Hopes. So if you haven’t already made a contribution, please make sure you do.

One Homes Many Hopes supports an orphanage in Kenya that is doing amazing work for 30 young girls, giving them a loving family, an education and the care they need to make their futures a little brighter. A small contribution of $10-$50 will go a long way to helping the girls and will make you part of the global family.

All you have to do is go to One Home Many Hopes to make a donation. Then send me an email or note to let me know you’re supporting my run, and I promise to go a little bit faster…just for you!

Lets raise money to support One Home Many Hopes!

I'm running the Flora Women's Mini Marathon to raise money for One Home Many Hopes, a home for orphaned girls in Mtwapa, Kenya.

Sponsor my run!

It's a 10K. So for $1 per kilometer, the girls can get new toys. And for $5 per kilometer, a young girl can go to school for a month.

Keep in Touch!

When you donate to OHMH let me know by posting a comment or emailing laurendare[at]gmail[dot]com.
