Additional Information
Maison des Anges Orphanage
It is located in Port-au-Prince, only a few miles from the epicenter of the January 2010 earthquake. There are about 100 children who are cared for at Maison des Anges. The earthquake significantly damaged the building, rendering it uninhabitable. It will need to be rebuilt.
For now, the children are living in the courtyard, sheltered only by tarps and other temporary
arrangements. It will be a challenge to keep the
children healthy and safe in the post-earthquake environment.
Financial support is badly needed for food and supplies in the immediate term, and to rebuild the orphanage as soon as possible under these challenging circumstances. The orphanage directors are a caring, dedicated, hard working couple who have made this their life-long labor of love. They will deeply appreciate any help they receive for the
children.
There are genuine servants who work to the point of emotional and physical exhaustion for these children on a daily basis. You can see when you look in their eyes how deep their passion is for the children. Even before the quake, the challenges they faced were indescribably difficult. It is just one obstacle after another.
Overall (run) and age group awards (run only) will be given out at each race. Only one medal per person (i.e., no double dipping)
The age groups (run only) are as follows: 14 and under, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75 and over.
