My name is Franklin Ramirez. I am running my first ever half marathon in Miami, Florida on June 14th 2025 to raise money for VG Church in Nicaragua. This church is a branch of VG Church in West Reading, Pennsylvania. VG Church in West Reading has planted a church in Managua, Nicaragua, an impoverished area where the church provides meals, community, and hope to a place that is in need of physical and spiritual support.

My goal is to raise money for this church to be able to complete its mission of spreading the Gospel and providing the needs of children and families in Managua. Your support will help complete the construction of the church and create a cafeteria that provides meals to the children in the area.

“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.”‬‬
