50k@50 Wheat State & Lord's Diner

Donation protected
I’m turning 50, will you help me give my birthday away?  And eat some smoked meat my wife will be serving?

On October 1st, the first Saturday after my 50th birthday on September 28th, I will attempt to run 50K (31 miles) to raise funds that will be split evenly between Wheat State Camp in Augusta, KS and The Lord’s Diner in Pittsburg, KS.

Would you support these two causes on my 50th birthday?

Wheat State Camp has influenced my family for Christ since 1977, when my wife, Sarah, first went there for church camp at age 9.  My son, Conner, has been powerfully impacted as a camper, a worker, and as a toddler, following his Mom who was the Camp Nurse.

The Lord’s Diner is new to Pittsburg, a branch of the outreach started in 2002 in Wichita, KS.  They aim to “feed the hungry with dignity and respect.”  They recently served their 3,000,000th person.

No.  I’ve actually never run 50K before.  Would you encourage me by supporting this?  Sharing this?

The 50K run will start at my house at 6 am.  I will be running a 15 mile loop around Pittsburg and Frontenac, twice, to cover the 50k.  I expect to finish, at my house, at 1 pm.

If 50 people will support this 50K on my 50th birthday, at $50 each.  Want to follow along?  I will be posting live updates including maps throughout the day on Facebook.  www.facebook.com/marklehman
