Tercha
Running for Hope

Hi Friends!

Thanks so much for visiting my fund-raising page!

My goal is to raise money for Tercha, a rural Ethiopian village that so desperately needs our help, by participating in a half-marthon in Santa Barbara on May 7th. I am partnering with "A Glimmer Of Hope" which is a non-profit organization where 100% of your donations will go directly to the women and children of Tercha by building hospitals and providing clean water to them.

A Glimmer of Hope has improved 2.5 million lives in thus far and with YOUR help, will help many more.

One of my best girlfriends, Laura Greene, has a niece and nephew who were adopted from a rural village in Southern Ethiopia, not far from Tercha. The Greene family has traveled to Ethiopia with A Glimmer of Hope several times to help scout out regions that could benefit from our help the most and Tercha is at the top of that list.

Check out the short video below that A Glimmer of Hope made during the last trip the Greene's took to Ethiopia to see the strides that had been made thus far because of their donations. What you see will astonish you. You will see the wonderful accomplishments made thus far and what we are RUNNING FOR NOW that will change the lives of many more.

I greatly appreciate your support of my campaign. On behalf of those who lives are forever transformed by your generosity, thank you.
