Running
for Women In Need with
The
Pittsburgh Dream Center
This will be
my 5th year running some part of the Pittsburgh marathon. I am running the Half Marathon this year and
running it for charity for the first time!
I have joined the Pittsburgh Dream Center team. The Pittsburgh Dream Center has a mission
revitalize local communities and restore people to their God given purpose in
life. They do this by reaching out and
building up the hurting and hopeless.
The reason we are running is to help Women In Need. Women and young girls in the Pittsburgh area,
who need assistance both tangibly and spiritually, are the ones we are
currently targeting and want to do more for. Our goal is to help ladies/girls in situations
such as aging out of foster care, homeless/transitioning, teenage pregnant
mothers, human trafficking victims, and women coming out of drug rehab programs. We are not only running to create awareness
for these women but also to help financially jump start the Dream Center
opening a Women’s Residential Discipleship Home.
As part of the Pittsburgh Marathon team,
I am collecting prayer and financial support to help make all of this happen.
Prayerfully: Please keep our team in your prayers that we
may all run without injury and raise sufficient funds so that we may free these
women to… “…forget what is behind and
strain towards what is ahead… pressing on toward the goal to win the prize for
which God has called them...” Philippians
