Dear Family and Friends,
This Friday, June 28nd, I am once again running as part of the Break the Cycle 200 mile running relay team to raise money and awareness to break the cycle of human trafficking in Central Iowa and Nepal.
People don’t care what you do, they care why you do it.
Why do I run? I run because this is a problem happening every day right here in Iowa. This is not just a problem in “other countries.” This spring, Break the Cycle 200 was able to sponsor the world premiere of “Gridshock,” a documentary about sex trafficking in Iowa. Please watch this Gridshock trailer about this powerful documentary. Although the documentary is still on tour, I highly recommend everyone watch it when it is released. You will have your eyes opened to this horrific injustice that exists right here in our own backyards.
People don’t care what you do, they care why you do it.
Why do I run? I run to bring awareness to this horrendous injustice. I run with the hope that men will view women as a beautiful being created in the image of God and not merely an object for their own sexual gratification. I run with the hope of rescue and restoration of the victims of human trafficking. But ultimately, I run to bring hope and bring freedom to women trapped in human trafficking.
People don’t care what you do, they care why you do it.
So don’t care what I am doing. Don’t give just because I am running a really long way through the day and night. Care about why I am doing it. I ask you to give to bring freedom to women trapped in human trafficking, a freedom that you and I take for granted every day.
Please note that 100% of your donations will go directly to support programs and projects to fight human trafficking and is tax deductible. I am extremely humbled and grateful for your continued support. Please help us "Break the Cycle."
