Well it’s that time of year again and I am running up quite a mountain to raise funds and awareness for QUALITY education in Tanzania. Some would say our mission itself is an uphill battle, and on certain days I would have to agree. However, I am literally running 11.5km uphill and then 11.5km straight downhill in support of The Foundation For Tomorrow’s work- The Kilimanjaro Half Marathon!
When I explain myself to people, I talk about the clarity running gives me, the peace and the ability to feed my competitive nature – all reasons why I love running. In the past decade though a lot of my races have been tied to something much greater than myself. Did I mention it’s my 6th year in a row doing this? Over the course of the last 6 years, thanks to you guys, I have personally raised over $30,000 to support improving access to QUALITY education for orphan and vulnerable children here in Tanzania. I am running to ensure these kids have a voice, and that it is an informed voice that can add value to this world. This year we want to keep that momentum and excitement that exists in TEAM TFFT.
Have you ever had interest in coming to Tanzania? Running a half or full marathon in an interesting location halfway around the world? Have you felt the urge to run under watchful eye of Mount Kilimanjaro? If your answers were yes – JOIN ME! In a little under a month I will be embarking on this race once again. I’d love to see some familiar faces and be able to get you all involved a little deeper in our work – so what do you say?
All in? – Book a flight to Tanzania today!?
With me in spirit? – Donate to TFFT as a sign of solidarity!?

My team and these kids show me hope in action on a daily basis. Join me to continue breaking down barriers in our fight against poverty. Education is our key, and these children are our future!
