Children in Haiti (or anywhere) don't need well-intended people to feel sorry for them. Rather, they need opportunities to learn how to build better lives for themselves and their families. Look through history and you will never find a time or circumstance where ignorance has been the better course. Learning can be powerful for dealing with life's difficulties-helping to define the road out.
Over the past 15 years or so I've run largely out of personal interest. Running the New York City marathon to raise funds for the school in Lagosette brings greater purpose to my running-it also helps me deal with the picture of that little girl."
Please consider sponsoring the Lagosette School through Paul's efforts. Donations can be made using the Chip-In meter on the right.

While the ChipIn meter doesn't show it we have thus far $761.00 donated towards the Lagosette school with more promised. This is a good start with 47 days to the ING New York city marathon and 54 days to meet our goal of $1.00/mile from 100 friends. Feel free to Chipin.
