LA MARATHON for CHILD SHARE



Last year I did what I believed was the impossible. I walked 26.2 miles to find homes for children abused and abandoned in the foster and adoption system right here in Orange County, LA County, and Riverside County... and lived to tell the tale...

And I'm doing it again... On March 20th.

I'll be participating in the LA Marathon on behalf of Child S.H.A.R.E (www.childshare.org), a nonprofit agency that helps solve the solution for every beat up, bruised, and abandon child. To date, Child S.H.A.R.E. has provided stability to over 2.700 children, has recruited over 900 families to open their homes and their hearts, and has crushed the national adoption rate by providing families that are adopting children at double the rate of the state system... at a fraction of the cost. In fact, Child S.H.A.R.E. families are consistently honored, featured and recognized throughout the country as models of healthy foster parenting.

and now I’m asking for your help...

My goal is to raise $2,500.00 to find a home for a child... and every little bit helps. $50 helps find a family interested in fostering a child, $100 helps welcome a child into a new home, $250 sponsors a family with support and resources for one month… & Finally, $2,500.00 finds a HOME for an abused Child. Even $1 or $5 can make a huge difference as we attack this problem head on, together as a team. You can sponsor me online by visiting my Firstgiving website: All donations are 100% Tax Deductible.

My training partner and I have already walked and jogged 115 miles in preparation… & this Sunday we will carve out another 18!

As someone who lived through some of these same problems that these kids are facing now, and wasn’t rescued by the system… this cause is near and dear to my heart and I’d appreciate all the help I can get. Feel Free to forward this on to your friends.
