Run 4 More: Hospitals-Health-Schools-Nutrition-Empowerment

Africa has such a special place in my heart. 2 years ago, I took my first trip there with our church and made lifelong friends, felt the beauty of the country, and also began my relationship with Jesus when I chose to be baptized.

Now I have the opportunity to run my FIRST marathon...at the FIRST year for Africa's World Major Marathon, visit this special place again, and make a lasting impact with #Shoe4Africa. Shoe4Africa

Running this marathon proves to me that I can do anything...my hope is that this also instills in my kids... YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!

IMPACT: On June 1, 2026, we celebrated several remarkable milestones. Since 2015, the Shoe4Africa Children’s Hospital has treated over 1,464,000 patients. We also celebrated the preparation of approx. 11,045,070 meals for hungry mouths since 2015, and the attendance of over 22,600 children at our free-to-attend Shoe4Africa schools since 2010. Additionally, we celebrated job creation: hundreds of workers have been involved in constructing over EIGHTY individual structures, thousands have received jobs, and we continue to grow with a direct and meaningful impact.
