Training to Run 100 Miles

A fundraiser by Jessica Myers-Adams
Image for Training to Run 100 Miles
April 15, 16, 17th I am running three 50k races (31 miles each) and then running 100 at all once in August.
My WHY for this? To make an even further impact on those in need, through donations from supporters like you. You may be wondering how much personal strength it takes; last year's Ironman finish was partly sustained by all your cheering words of encouragement which muted any voices telling me to quit. So let’s team up again as I tackle one hundred glorious consecutive miles – who knows what we can accomplish together?!

Girls in Mai Mahui, Kenya face an uphill battle. From child labour to teenage pregnancy and everything else between—the traditional barriers these girls must overcome are almost insurmountable. But you can make a difference! With your support, Village Impact is providing critical counselling that will empower young women in the region by helping them navigate their social, academic and emotional challenges — ensuring they have every opportunity to succeed academically at Negeiya Girls Secondary School: A historical first for this rural community. Let's help write a more inspiring story together with our collective effort today!
Let's come together to support a cause that lifts everyone in our community! With the new high school comes an opportunity to invest in counselling and resource services for 600+ students - because when girls complete their secondary education, they have brighter futures ahead. Better mental health, higher incomes; benefits trickle down even into healthier offspring with no fear of intimate partner violence - how powerful is that?!
