Yeah, I know... daunting does not begin to describe the mission I have chosen to accept!
Run...HAHAHAHA...me?
I am a pretty fit and active young woman. I enjoy swimming and riding my bike. I have been dancing for years and have even dabbled in the martial art Muay Thai.
But running? GAH! Just the thought of it gives me a cramp.
So, clearly, I am not running for ME... I am running for Cuso International. For over 50 years Cuso has been sending volunteers to developing nations to work with local partner organizations in an effort to reduce global poverty. Cuso International does not send aid money, they send skilled volunteers! I personally believe that the Cuso's approach to international development is a healthy, productive, and sustainable method for reducing poverty... and THIS is why I am choosing to RUN FOR THE WORLD this October (even if I can barley muster up 5k of energy today, I WILL run a half marathon in October).
