Running with Purpose...

David and Adam are bringing a whole new meaning to the term, "hard core".

This year, they are training to participate in the Beast Series which consists of seven ultramarathons which range from 31 to 100 miles in length. 

Why?!, you may ask. 

They obviously have a passion for the sport...but that's not all.  They have a deep passion for the fatherless and have committed to help raise money through their races to help adoptive families, who share that passion.

Partnering with Lifesong for Orphans, Run for Orphans' goal is to raise $100,000.00 in 2010 which will be used as matching grants to faciliate the adoption of 20 children.

the Orphan Run | 130 marathons in 130 days...

Tim with a vulnerable child in Honduras, named Pedro...

 

This dude can run. I mean flat out run. 

 

A few years ago Tim Borland ran 63 MARATHONS in 63 consecutive days to advocate for children with a vulnerable disease.

 

Tim made the trip to Honduras with us last week, as our Lifesong Vision Team traveled there last week, and he is planning for the Orphan Run 2010. 

 

The Orphan Run will bring much needed awareness to a critical need around the world, the orphan crisis. Tim Borland will attempt to run 130 marathons in 130 days to honor and recognize the 130 million orphans of the world.
