Run For Orphans

A Good Run

Michelle Liao — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 08:15:22 +0000

Yes, we did it! God is the amazing God!! Rain stopped, sun was out, and the road was dry. The day was excited and full of joy.

After the run, while I stood at the last 0.1 mile to the finishing line seeing other brothers and sisters arriving one after another, I have realized the run was not only a goal, a race and a fund-raising to help others, but I also have seen the meaning of growth in Christ, the unity of the body of Christ, and once again, the importance of the prayer. The children of God are all different, but in Him, we are in one, sharing the same Spirit. Love changes our hearts, makes us strong and unifies us in one.

At that time, I also seen many other people finishing their runs with all their strengths. Seeing people appreciating their lives, love their families and friends. I gave praise to our creator, God, who gives us life and breathe because He loves us so much. Life is good!

Thanks God for the wonderful weather. The rain stopped in midnight before the run, and it started raining again after we all finished. – Calvin

My training

Doreen Lam — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 22:27:26 +0000

when I registered to Run For Orphans, I wondered whether I can make it or not because I seldom run. I always feel that I have hard time to run and it is not that fun to run for long time too.

7/21/10 The first day I started using treadmill to train myself: walk more than run and it is very hard, I used about 40 min for 1.6 mile
8/18/10 I am happy I could make it 3.8 miles in 50 min
9/8/10 This is the first time 3 miles in 50 min without any stopped or walked
9/27/10 4 miles in 53 min
10/13/10 4.5 miles in 1 hr
11/4/10 5 miles in 55 min
11/11/10 Ran with my teammates: 7.3 miles in 1 hr 20 min
11/22/10 Monday is the worse day for me to run because after the busy weekend. Today I tried running outside and I made it little bit less than 10 miles in 1 hr 30 min against the wind with coughing and running nose >_< the last two miles I was almost dragging…very “sun fu”. Actually, time passed very fast because I used the running time prayed for ourselves, families, church, people around us, and charity….etc. I felt good for myself and hope that I can keep on training and can join next year’s Marathon at San Francisco Golden Gate bridge.

Why I run………

Liora Chan — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 21:52:19 +0000

The reason i run is because i want to challenge myself to accomplish something i have never done before. I also want to run because the orphans in Africa need help and i want to help them. i have never lost someone close to me or have gone a day without eating anything….. but in Africa, these kids younger than me lose their dad and mom and die from hunger. I feel blessed that i have a mother and father that feeds me everyday. I want to help as much as i can. No one is too young to help change the world. Help me accomplish this goal by donating money to the orphans. Every dollar counts!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for supporting me.

Run for the Orphans

On Dec 5th, I will be running to raise money for the orphans. These days, when kids lose their toys they are unhappy and demand their parent to buy them something else. Teenagers without their internet acess, they may feel at lost with the world. On the other part of the world, when the orphans their lose parent, they lose their support system. Today, I want to do something for these unfornuate kids. Help me with my cause. Donate so the orphanage continue to run without hitch. Even one dollar means a lot. Thank You.

Why I Run…

I always wanted to challenged myself and do something like run a marathon. (One of few items on my buket list). But I think it means so much more when I am running to raise money for the orphans. With each small step, together we can make this world a better place. Lets helps these kids secure a better future, and a secure a safe place for them to grow up. Please donate to my cause!!
