Kelly Miller's Marathon Fundraiser
On October 9th, I am running the Chicago Marathon.
A marathon, you say! As in 26.2 miles?
Yep … I am willingly running that far. For fun.
Running is hard. Running in the summer … in Georgia …. is REALLY hard.
BUT, the satisfaction from pushing yourself in tough conditions is an incredible feeling. It is empowering. Getting to the finish line is a long, arduous journey. It involves self-doubt, setbacks, uncertainty, and exhaustion. It involves early mornings, self-sacrifice and pain. BUT it also involves moments of great joy that can only be achieved by pushing yourself to reach big goals. All of this requires the support of so many people.
As part of this journey, I have decided to raise money and bring awareness to a local non-profit that knows all about early mornings, self-sacrifice and pain. They know all about supporting women who are filled with self-doubt and uncertainty. This non-profit knows the great joy that can only be achieved by providing women with unwavering support and loving them enough to tell them the truth. It is empowering.
Pregnant Choices Medical Clinic knows that choosing to carry a baby to the “finish line” of birth is no finish line at all. It is just the beginning. Pregnant Choices supports women from the moment they receive a positive pregnancy test, throughout their pregnancy, and either throughout the adoption process or the first five years of the child’s life.
Pregnant Choices has saved the lives of more than 700 local children since they opened their doors in 2017.
I would be so honored to have your help with gifting Pregnant Choices with a huge donation this fall. Would you consider donating $26.20? That’s $1 per mile on race day. Of course, you can donate any amount that you feel moved to give.
My goal is to raise at least $2620 … or $100 per mile on race day.
Let’s make a difference. Let’s show this community how much we care for women who are in a difficult situation. Let’s empower them to protect life at all costs.
Also, staying injury-free is a constant never-ending battle that requires significant effort. If you could, please remember me in your prayers so I can #Run4Life.
And finally, and most importantly, please pray for the success of this campaign and for all women who find themselves in a difficult situation. Pray that they will have the strength to reach out to Pregnant Choices (or another similar organization in their community) and for the wonderful people at Pregnant Choices who lovingly support these women.
Thank you for your support and please share this with everyone you know!
