Stomp Out Poverty
|
August 25 - September 20 3rd Annual MH Community Fun Run & Walk Fun Run Registration Form WHAT IS "STOMP OUT POVERTY?" Stomp Out Poverty is a fundraising campaign helping those who cannot help themselves. We believe "the blessings that come to us must go through us." There are millions around the world are suffer from poverty... no food, no water, no shelter, no clothes. We do this because Jesus tells us to care for the poor. This year we are using the MH Community Fun Run as one way to care for the poor and care for our bodies. We encourage everyone to do what they can to be physically fit. It is amazing how discipline in one area of life can bleed over to other areas of life. That is why use our preparation and race time to raise awareness and money. Specifically, the money is going to support Tom and Kay Lynn Aylard in their work at Eden Children's Village in Zimbabwe Africa. Eden's Children's Villages cares for children who are directly affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Most of them are made orphans by the disease and some suffer from it themselves. HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE? You can particiate in several way. (1) You can join the Stomp Out Poverty team by training for the Fun Run and getting sponsored. You can choose to have people sponsor you per mile you run between August 25 and September 20, including the Fun Run. Or, you can have people sponsor you per pound lost between those same dates. We offer assistance in planning your workouts and you diet during this time. This is all done by a certified physical fitness trainer. You can participate without running in the Fun Run. Also, the cost for the Fun Run is only $15 since we are a group and includes the Fun Run t-shirt. (2) You can sponsor a Stomp Out Poverty team member. (3) You buy a Stomp Out Poverty t-shirt. (4) You can make a flat donation to "NLCC" with "Stomp Out Poverty" in the memo section. If you have any questions or would like to participate, please contact our office at (209) 640-2326. |
