Iowans for Africa

Intro to Team World Vision from Team World Vision on Vimeo.

I learned this morning about an incredible opportunity forthcoming! One of our staff members, Don Williams, is also a running coach, and he's teaming up with World Vision to organize a team to run in the Chicago Marathon on October 11. This team will be named "Iowans for Africa" and team members will fundraise to help fight against the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

How cool is that? Don showed me his training schedule. He's going to work for the first 8 weeks this spring with people who aren't really runners or who have never run a marathon(that would be people like me). Sometime in June, then, he'll add in those who are runners with that first group and coach through a training schedule that takes you up to the big event.

I'm so inspired by this! If you have interest, contact Don at dwilliams@orchardhillchurch.org. You can also learn more at the following links:
