Saving Babies Mile by Mile!

Do you want to make a difference? Would you like to help save a life and powerfully impact another? I'm calling on you!

My goal is simple.  I want to save 1 life with all of you!

My rally cry, save at least 1!!  I'm willing to fight if you're willing to help.  I am going to attempt to walk 50 miles in 1 day on March 23rd in the Prairie Spirit Ultra Marathon Race.  I'm asking everyone who reads this to consider a pledge per mile that I walk during the race with 100% of the money donated to the Wyandotte and Olathe Pregnancy clinics Mobile Campaign.  They want to begin a mobile campaign, they want to take it to the streets, and we can help.  

It is yet to be seen, will I make the full 50 miles on race day?? I've tried this ultra marathon twice before.  In 2019 I made it 43 miles and in 2022 I made it 41 miles during the race.  Each time I succumbed to blisters and muscle failure.  But this year when I'm in the latter part of the race, with blistered feet and my body failing me, I'll remain encouraged to continue on by your kindness. I'll remember with every additional mile I walk, we are raising that much more money for a cause that saves lives. Very literally, your support will keep me going and maybe this time I can make it to the finish line.  During training for this race I've been searching for a way to glorify God with my efforts.  We can do just that with this fundraiser.  Let's help mothers and babies that might not otherwise have a chance!  

On race day I hope to be able to give everyone who pledges access to my Garmin tracking device so you can participate with me on this journey and follow my progress throughout the day.  Please join me, it will be exciting!!

Pledge example 1: Pledge $.25 per mile, I walk 50 miles, donation total $12.50
Pledge example 2: Pledge $.50 per mile, I walk 50 miles, donation total $25
Pledge example 3: Pledge $1.00 per mile, I walk 50 miles, donation total $50
Pledge example 4: Pledge $5.00 per mile, I walk 50 miles, donation total $250
Choose any amount to pledge per mile. I don't know how long I'll be able to go but that will be part of the fun! You may choose to be invoiced after the Marathon for the actual miles I walked or make a lump sum donation.

Thank you for your consideration and Thank You Jesus for this day, I will pray for all of you! Please pray for me and our shared mission for LIFE!

Sincerely,
