On Saturday June 8th, Abby & I (Sharon) will be running in the Kalamazoo Mud Run. This is 'glocal' at its best, benefitting the "Loaves and Fishes" LOCAL organization to fight hunger in Kalamazoo, coupled with raising funds for GLOBAL relief in Uganda by installing wells. As we use our sporty passion 'get dirty for clean water,' we're participating in a greater mission. What I'm asking for is $2.00. Most individuals, families, retirees, and college students are financially-conscious at this time, but we can all probably spare that little bit. Each of our gifts combining together creates a large impact. Perhaps you want to donate $2 per family or $2 per person in your family. More is fine, too. ;)

My mom and I are getting dirty for a good cause! Portions of the money raised will be donated locally to help fight hunger. Thank you for your support!

This is my first year participating in the Kalamazoo Mud Run. I'm sure this will be interesting and fun, The Kalamazoo Mud Run event is to help raise funds for three different causes.This event will benefit Kalamazoo Loaves and Fishes. Clean water and food are basic human needs. It will also support efforts to drill new wells in communities in Africa. There is a shoe collection as well starting a few weeks before the run up until the run on June 8th. Shoes are collected, cleaned and donated. I've set up this page to share with anyone interested in supporting fundraising, donating shoes or coming out to participate.

Mud Run Fund Raiser

"Get Dirty for Clean Water"- proceeds of the Kalamazoo Mud Run will benefit communities in Africa by supporting efforts to drill new wells in partnership with The Bridge Church of Portage and Operation Starfish. The Kalamazoo Mud Run will support the goal of Operation Starfish is to put in 50 new wells in 50 villages in the next 5 years. In 2013, we are adding a local mission to benefit Kalamazoo Loaves and Fishes. A portion of the funds raised will be dedicated to feeding hungry people in Kalamazoo and engaging our community in the fight to end hunger. "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them." (John 7:37-38)
