Welcome
Hi, I am Alex and I am looking forward to
running/walking my first half-marathon for a five year-old orphan boy named Yong.
To begin, I am not much of a runner and prefer eating sour patch kids on the
sofa while watching TV. However, I was inspired by Yong's story and by a few other
people. My heart goes out to the orphans around the world. I was one. So, when I read the
little boy's story and saw his picture I couldn't get him out of my mind. I
began by encouraging others to run and raise money for him, but then I realized
something…why am I not running and raising money? My own Mother completed
last years marathon and is doing this years. If she could do a marathon, why
can't I do a half? I am planning
to run to raise money for Yong's surgery to get rid of the tumor on his face. I
want to ask you to please come along side me by praying and sponsoring me to
run.

Precious Jensen has been in the hospital for a month. He was first admitted with a GI bleed caused by a gastric ulcer, then he developed septicemia. The doctors discovered that Jensen also had hydronephrosis, a swelling of the kidneys when urine flow is obstructed in any part of the urinary tract. After additional testing, the doctors determined that the hydronephrosis was caused by vesicoureteral reflux. Now that there is a definitive diagnosis, the next step is surgery to remove the blockage. Your sponsorship will help children like Jensen have a chance at healing.
