Dear Friends and Family, 

We hope you are all doing well.  Recently, our family has been challenged to enter a running/walking race.  This race will take place on Saturday, August 8, 2026, in Rochester, MN.  Although this race will help us with our health, strength, and perseverance, there is a much bigger picture. 

This bigger picture is to raise money to help free people from sex trafficking.  This is a huge and devastating problem for boys, girls, parents, and all those involved.  It is estimated that the average age of victims is 12, being abused in horrific ways 20 to 30 times a day.  This should not be happening, and we want to help stop this. 

To make the biggest impact, we have partnered with 30 For Freedom.  https://30forfreedom.org  This organization is equipped to rescue, house, disciple, and help pay school expenses until those rescued graduate from high school.  It takes $400 for them to do this for one person. 

This is where you can help partner with us.  Will you please consider sponsoring us in this race to help us raise the funds needed?  You may either give a lump sum or sponsor us per mile.  Below are links to send your donations.  Please have donations to them before August 8, 2026. 

Please help our miles count for something bigger than ourselves.  Thank you in advance for your help.  Those being freed also thank you.
