'The Run' for the Ukraine

Once again, so many of us find ourselves as bystanders in a crisis. The attack on Ukraine persists, and so many are displaced from their homes and livelihoods while running for safety.

However, what happens when you can’t run?

I can’t imagine the sheer feeling of vulnerability of being in a war zone and not being able to flee or to seek shelter. Bold individuals working with Joni and Friends in the Ukraine are helping those with disability get to safety while risking their own.

This is why I am calling upon you to support 'The Run' alongside Joni and Friends as they assist fleeing individuals and families with disability into safety. So far 8 successful trips, carrying nearly 300 people, have been made through Joni and Friends team in the Ukraine and with no plan to stop their efforts... why should we?

This is why I'm calling on you to join me by donating to 'The Run for the Ukraine'  supporting Joni and Friends work. Please consider donating to the cause by supporting my efforts to run The Wild West Marathon, one of Americas oldest trail marathons on May 7th, 2022. 

'The Run' by Joni Eareckson Tada is inspired by the following verse in Ephesians 12 and is my also my inspiration to run...

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the founder and protector of the faith"
