Close to all 1000 Team World Vision Athletes gathers for food, fellowship, and inspiration as we endeavor to change the World Tomorrow. A sea of orange will take over downtown Chicago. Not just the 1000 Team World Vision runners in orange (that is approaching 2% of all racers!), but the thousands of spectators coming to cheer us on.
The thing is, we have already changed the World. Through those that sponsored me, and those that sponsored the other runners, A community in Zambia will now have clear water, A new school, and training of local villagers in how to grow and become self sufficient. Tomorrow we run with thoughts of our families. Not just those nearby. But our families in Africa that we are sponsoring. We lift up all our joys and sorrows to the Lord that his Grace will rain upon them.
(Olympian) Ryan Hall and his wife Sara shared their own personal feelings about being involved in World Vision and what all of us (the 1000 running the Marathon) have done for them, to inspire them. The Quote of the day (albeit a humorous one) from Ryan was
...I should be having you sign my shirt, after all You are all going to be out there twice as long as I would...
We had a wonderful meal. We met so many new friends. I can't wait until tomorrow to take my part on this Team. Thank you all for your support and Prayers. Together we have made a Real Difference. Not just in Africa, but here as well. Thank you...
Peace
Ted
