Joe & Marie Pope – Team WorldVision – I am a charity runner with Faith 12.1 and I run with Team World Vision.  I run to help provide life-changing clean water to children and communities in the developing world.  Team World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization that helps children, families, and their communities overcome poverty and injustice.  Nearly 1,000 children under age 5 die every day from diarrhea caused by contaminated water, poor sanitation, and improper hygiene. I believe the global water and sanitation crisis can be solved within our lifetimes.

Last year (2020) Joe (husband) and I ran a total of 1,048.8 miles and provided clean water to 211 people.  This year (2021) our goal is to run 1,347.3 total miles and provide clean water for 200+ people.  The link to my fundraising page is below.  Your consideration and support is very appreciated.
