Dollar A Mile - Week 1

10.31 Miles Completed this week!  It has just begun! 

300 Miles & $30,000 in 2010

I am so excited about 2010!  One of the things I am so excited about is an idea that I have been working on for the past couple months.  A couple months ago I was running one night and the the idea came to me, "What would happen if in 2010 I combined running with charity?"  From there came the idea of Dollar-A-Mile {dot} com.

In 2010, from January 18th to the second week of August I have the goal of running 300 miles for charity!  I am challenging people to donate $1 per mile.  You can sponsor as many or as few miles as you want.  I believe that in 2010 we can raise $30,000 together!

ALL of the money will go directly to the offering called SHEAVES FOR CHRIST which partners with many national and international ministries (find out more here.)

The cool thing is that through using nike+ I will be able to give a running total (no pun intended) of EXACTLY how many miles that have been ran.  The progress will be uploaded after each run.

I will be giving more info as January 18th approaches. In the meantime check out the Dollar-A-Mile website at www.dollaramile.com

My hope is that many students & adults will join with me in 2010 and put purpose in motion.
