OUR GOAL: THEIR FUTURE - La Sagrada Familia Children’s Community
Hi,
It’s not easy to ask for help.
It’s even harder to ask for help for someone else.
But if the one receiving this help is someone with much deeper needs than ours, then the task might be less hard.
My name is Juan Pablo Olivares Arbaiza and I’m running 226 kilometers to raise funds to support La Sagrada Familia Children’s Community.
This community is a small institution that's financed basically from voluntary donations. They house almost 700 peruvian homeless children, taking care of them and assuring them a proper education. More tan 1,500 children have already been taken care of by this community on the 17 years they have been helping (more information in www.sagradafamilia.org.pe ).
The challenge of running the 226 kilometers consists on being part of one of the most demanding Triathlons: an Ironman. The race will be held in Brazil on May 31st and has a maxim
um time limit of 17 hours. The competition includes 4km of swimming in open waters (about 2.4 miles), 180km of biking (about 112 miles) and then running a full marathon of 42km (26.2 miles), in that order and one part straight after the other.
My commitment, besides finishing the race, is to coordinate this fund raising project and keep you updated with all the details of the community, training process and funding raising through a blog created for this purpose.
How can you Help and become a part of this? By donating US$ for each kilometer of the race. Everything helps to fund this community and assure they can keep helping so many kids and be sustainable in the future. Everything we raise will go directly to the community.
If you are interested in the idea and want to support us please join us at
http://ourgoaltheirfuture.blogspot.com to see in more detail what the project means and you can become a part of it.
On behalf of the 700 children that are in the community today, the ones that will enter it in the future and everyone supporting them, I appreciate your time and hope you can be part of this project.
