A friend of mine put together a relay team for the Illinois Marathon. They are raising money for Amazima. From the Amazima website-
Amazima Ministries was founded by 19 year-old Katie Davis in 2008. The organization, based out of Brentwood, TN, feeds, educates, and encourages orphaned and vulnerable children and the poor in the country of Uganda. In the Lugandan language, Amazima (uh-mahz-i-muh) means "truth." Amazima desires to reveal the truth of God's unconditional love through Jesus Christ to the Ugandan people.
One of the relay runners is unable to run due to sickness, so I am taking his place :) It will be a fun day!
I must admit that I am going to miss my family terribly. I have not been away from my children for more than three hours, in three years!
