Make an impact in the life of a military family that has lost it's Hero...

Hello everyone!

Richard and I have some very exciting news- we are running the Seoul Marathon (our first) on 20 March! We have been training for several months now but not without some great motivation provided by the Knights of Heroes. The Knights of Heroes Mission is to provide young men who have lost their fathers in military service the opportunity to experience character building events with the positive support of a male mentor. A fairly large group of members from our bases have been involved in training and raising money for the Knights of Heroes. In fact, we have raised enough money so far to fund a female version of Knights of Heroes which we have affectionately started calling "Ladies in Training". This will allow the boys' sisters to have their own summer type camp that gives them the opportunity to flourish and learn from other females that have similar life experiences.

Anyway, we are not required to meet a minimum donation or anything like that, we just want to tell everyone about this organization and give you all the chance to donate if you feel called to do so. If you are interested in learning more about the Knights of Heroes, please visit their website at http://www.knightsofheroes.org/ or Richard and my webpage at http://knightsofheroes.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=443122&lis=0&kntae443122=E73A569CEB934B949C46563A44B02850&supId=314734138 and you can donate at either site.

We feel so blessed just to be able to take on this adventure together but doing it for such a worthy cause makes us all the more excited to take on this challenge. If you are able to donate then that is great and if not then please at least keep the families in your prayers (and us when it comes to finishing the marathon ;).

We hope this finds you well and can’t wait to get the chance to see all of you again.

God Bless!!!

Love, Richard and Micki
