<div>Lisa Olson is the most resilient person most folks have ever met. There is so much she can do on her own, but Lisa was born without any limbs and, therefore, has required the assistance of caregivers throughout her life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After being abandoned at birth and raised in an orphanage in India until age 5, Lisa was adopted by her mom, Marie, and was brought to the US. Marie was Lisa's primary caregiver for nearly 40 years, until she passed after a battle with Alzheimer's Disease. Now, Lisa relies fully on paid caregivers to assist with her daily needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The cost of such consistent and strenuous support far exceeds the resources that are available to Lisa. Lisa has had a long career in higher education, first as a career counselor at Regent University and currently as the Director of Admissions at Northern Maine Community College.  Despite her work, which brings Lisa great purpose and joy, the cost of her care exceeds her earned income.  Some of Lisa's supplemental funding has been met through generous gifts from friends and family since Lisa does not qualify for government assistance due to having an income. In addition to the high cost, the challenge of recruiting, hiring and managing the turnover of qualified, compassionate caregivers, falls to Lisa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2022, Veronica O'Sullivan published a children's book, "Glory Be!", in the hope of generating revenue that could be donated to meet Lisa's needs. The project was a joy to create and promote, however, Lisa's need is ongoing and a steady stream of additional support is needed to meet her caregiving expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2024, Veronica and her husband, David, started this campaign to raise funds to help offset the shortage of caregiving funds that affects Lisa month after month.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They kicked-off this campaign by running the Myrtle Beach Marathon on March 1, 2025. While training was difficult, with each mile, they were reminded of the difficulties Lisa faces each day and the sheer determination with which she perseveres.  Their effort raised over $3,000.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the fall of 2026, Veronica and David will hit the pavement again.  This time, running the Savannah, GA Rock n' Roll 1/2 Marathon. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lisa has touched their lives, and so many others, in a profound way, which is why, they will continue their effort to support Lisa so that she may continue to bless the lives of others through her work and through her mission to spread God's love and acceptance to others.  Proceeds from their ongoing efforts will be used to fund a trust for Lisa.
</div>
<div><br />
