Dallas White Rock World Vision Team!

This past Sunday, Ray went to a meeting at The Heights to look into a marathon team that was being put together to support an amazing charity. Team World Vision will be racing on December 5, 2010 at the Dallas White Rock Marathon. All donations will be raised to support World Vision and their efforts in Uganda to change the lives of the children and their community.

It's amazing how God can speak to us in so many different ways. Many of you may have read that I've been really feeling the need to complete another half or even a full (this would be my ultimate dream) and what could be better than to run for not only myself but for something that is absolutely bigger than me and bigger than I could ever imagine. Both Ray and I are looking forward to participating in such an amazing cause. I will have to keep you posted on the upcoming activities. And if this is something that tugs at your heart as much as ours... feel free to join us. There are numerous ways to participate. Join us as a runner or give a donation! Again our information/donation pages will be put up shortly... so please feel free to take a look and do something that is greater than you!

PS. I simply loved this picture... and while it is definitely a thought that may go through your head... you know you are running for something more!

RUN A RACE. CHANGE LIVES IN AFRICA.

Love,
Alicia
