I hate to run! No, I really hate to run!!! But I must run on October 24th at the Run For Their Lives 10K.

Why? Because this race doesn’t just raise funding and awareness for Run For Their Lives, it’s one more stride to end human trafficking and sexual slavery in our world (see Freedom 4/24 blog post).

What motivates me to train and work to take-on this 10K is really close to home for me. My 9-year-old daughter, Landyn, is why I run. When I watch her read at night in her bed or skip towards the doorway at her school, I’m reminded of another voiceless 9-year-old in Thailand. That daughter just got sold to an illegal brothel. Her life will be grievously different than the one Landyn might possess.

So, when my heart-rate goes up tomorrow on my next run, I’ll move onward for that girl too.
