Andys Racers Unite


I would like to propose that we all ban together and run/walk the

"Run for Courage"  - http://runforcourage.com/

It is a 5K run/walk or 10K run on, Saturday October 2nd in Folsom, CA.

This happens to be a Saturday where there is Sending Place training, but I know Pastor Dan is going to be trying to do the run and then go to training.  Ann Marie is thinking of walking as well, so people with training can participate.

Mary Culpepper is getting a group together from the Reno area and I'm thinking we could get a strong turn out to support this very worthy cause (see below).

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.  We'll be hearing more about Courage House and Courage to Be You (C2BU) at St. Andrews soon.


The following is taken from the above website:

Why Are We Running?
Estimates range from 250,000 to 800,000 children who are being sexually exploited each year in the US. According to the FBI, Sacramento ranks within the top 15 cities for sex-trafficking on Craig’s List. Currently, there is not a home in Northern California for girls rescued out of trafficking. Young victims are often charged with a crime and taken to Juvenile Hall in order to be in a secure environment. The mission of Courage To Be You, Inc. (C2BU) is to open a safe home for these girls with comprehensive services. Will you join our efforts as we walk and Run For Courage?
