*Side note: These funds were raised for a new truck, but if our precarious financial situation continues, we will have to ask permission to use them for operating expenses instead (which will get us through another month at the most).

"Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." Hebrews 12:1
On July 16, 2011, Mark Zimmerman ran the Buckeye Trail 50k as part of his Love. Hope. Go the Distance. campaign for Love & Hope Children's Home. His goal was to raise $10,000 to replace our aging Toyota T200 pickup truck. He not only completed the race, but raised 107% of his goal: $10,736.03. He went the distance. And then some. Mark raised $214.72 with every kilometer he traveled.
During the race Mark kept us up to date on his progress as he passed through the various aide stations. He'd quickly grab his phone and tap out some short messages so we could follow his journey.
