| Shortly after I decided to run this ultra marathon I wanted to do some fund raising. Throughout my life I’ve always felt sad seeing images of the poor and hungry children of Africa. Whether it was the famines in Ethiopia, the AIDS epidemic in South Africa and elsewhere or the victums of the more recent genicide in Rwanda and the surrounding countries. I always felt those emotions but never really cared enough to actually do something about it. I decided to raise funds for Congo when a Congolese colleague of mine showed me Lisa Shannon’s website. Ms. Shannon left her life in the states to devote herself to the efforts in the Congo (See video about Lisa at http://video.nytimes.com/video/2010/02/03/opinion/1247466865007/an-american-in-congo.html). After learning Lisa’s story and reading some of Nicholas Kristof’s articles in the New York Times, I decided that this was the specific cause that I would support. |
