Running 100 miles for Afghan Refugees
Dear friends and family,
As many of you know, I had to postpone my 100-mile ultra marathon due to an illness right before the race. While I'm looking to compete in another 100-mile ultra marathon soon, Afghan refugees still urgently need our help in the meantime. These families are still struggling to escape persecution from the Taliban--in addition to facing a host of other refugee-related challenges and issues. Their lives are imperiled, all because they openly supported the American mission in Afghanistan before the US withdrawal.
The charity linked below has been instrumental in getting at-risk Afghans, including women and children, to safety.
We are about USD 5k away from being able to bring a current at-risk family to a position of safety in a third party country.

Any little bit that you can give will go a very long way.
Many, many thanks.
