10.14.09PersonalRun 4 Revolution |
Karen and I believe in making a difference in the lives of others. That is one of the many reasons we support Run 4 Revolution. So what is a revolution.... Derived from the Latin word "revolutio", revolution means "a turn around". Our daughter, Lindsey, is very passionate about the fight against human trafficking and she has had an ache in her heart for innocent children (over a million of them) all over the world who fall victim to sex trafficking - children who are ripped from their homes and sold into prostitution. Lindsey has educated herself about human trafficking and her heart and soul has been on fire to do something ... to raise awareness and to fight to protect innocent children. She, along with her friend Lindy who is a missionary in Kenya, have joined to make a team to raise funds to fight this horrible crime. How are they doing this? They are running for the cause ... Run 4 Revolution. So, Lindsey and Lindy are starting, what they hope, will be a monster of an organization that works like a worldwide track club where members sign up to run races and raise money for the International Justice Mission's effort with human trafficking under the banner of Run 4 Revolution. If you have not heard of IJM, please take some time to check them out here. Lindsey is 8 months pregnant with her second child, Adalei. The two will be running the Ardmore 5K in Winston Salem this coming Saturday, October 17th to raise money for this great cause. Want to learn more? Check out her site at: Lindsey Broere or Run4Revolution In the meantime, some other ways you can help... ~Educate yourselves on human trafficking ~Read books on human trafficking. Lindsey recommends "Terrify No More" by Gary Haugen ~Pray about joining R4R- EMAILEmail R4R if you would like to learn how to get started or get involved. We support this cause 100%, in fact, we will match each donation made through Run 4 Revolution for IJM up to $100 per person, just mention Autumn Song. We have decided not to post the third Thursday "you name it contest" this month to focus on this very worthy cause. We invite you to join us in the fight against heinous crimes against children. Let's make it count! Be sure to mention Autumn Song when you contact Lindsey to give your support. Help us in making a difference in the lives of millions of innocent children! Thank you for your interest and support for this great cause. It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little ... do what you can. ~Sydney Smith~ |
