Thanks to all of the people who supported me through this process, most importantly my amazing wife Tara as I put time in for my training. Over the course of the year, I learned several new new running routes and met a lot of amazing people as I joined the running "fraternity".

I'm going on my mission trip to Honduras in late January, and I'm very excited that my daughter Ainsley will be joining me. However, I'm still well short of my fundraising goal. I know there's a lot going on during the holidays, but please consider making a donation to our cause. Some people have told me they're not comfortable contributing on line, and instead have asked if they could just give cash. That's certainly fine, and if you would prefer to do that just contact me and I'll be glad to work out arrangements. You can read below about my trip and learn more about Forgotten Children's Ministries.

Please help me in my quest to raise money to fund my mission trip to Honduras.Forgotten Children's Ministries is a wonderful ministry that rescues boys and girls from a life on the streets on Tegucigalpa, Honduras and provides them with shelter, education, and Christian love. I went on my first mission trip to Tegcuigalpa with FCM in December of 2012, and have been planning a return trip since I got back. I'm hoping to go back in December of this year. To help cover the cost, I decided to run one 5K race in each month of 2013, and have asked people to donate money for each mile I've run. To learn more about FCM, go to www.fcmhonduras.org.
