Support Schools in Africa!

http://www.firstgiving.com/alymartin

Since coming to Namibia, I have really gotten into running. I am a very slow runner (and I am not just saying that!), but I don't really mind being slow and just enjoy running. When I lived in the village I would run with learners and village dogs and it became part of my routine.

Last year I ran in my first half-marathon and ran in the same race again this year. I have signed up to run the Indy Mini in May of next year and have joined a fundraising team with some friends. We will be raising money for RISE, an NGO that builds schools in Angola, Africa (my neighbor to the north!). It is a great cause and you can read more about it on my fundraising page at http://www.firstgiving.com/alymartin

If you are interested in helping out, please go there to help me raise my fundraising goal for RISE :). Thanks!
