In 2005 I was diagnosed with liver disease and after a lengthy time of medical interventions, and prayers I went to Medjudgorje in Bosnia-Herzogovina and had a miraculous healing.  I was given a second chance by God.  God had a mission for me that had yet to be fully realized.  My mission is to help others in need.  I started running marathons to raise money and awareness of various causes including children with cancer and leukemia.  I have run ten marathons so far and I am now focusing on running my first ultra marathon of 150 miles across the desert in Morocco.  My cause is for Mogra Star Academy and Orphanage in Muthare slums of Nairobi, Kenya.  

Mogra Star Academy is a school for 1500 students who come from the streets and slums of Muthare.  It also includes an orphanage and a center for AIDS patients to be fed and taken care of.  One Hundred percent of the monies raised will go directly to building a new orphanage and school buildings outside of the slums so the children will have a safe place to live, play and go to school.  Mogra Star Academy is surround by poverty, disease, and hardship of very kind.  The realities these children face every day is beyond what most of us can imagine.  Your generosity will play an integral part in feeding AIDS victims, caring for the basic needs of these children, education, and a safe place for the orphans to live and play.  I feel I have been blessed living in such a great community and would like to pass on the same blessings and opportunities of hope to these children.  You may gather more information and see who and what Mogra Star is all about by clicking on their website, (www.mograstar.org). Thank you for your help and generosity in providing a future of hope for these children and all who work with them.  May God bless you as you bless them.
