Are you out there?

What started as a simple blog to keep family and friends informed of my trip to Ghana, has grown.  It's come to reach almost 1200 people, from 10 countries, on 4 of the world's 7 continents.  Thank you everyone! 

If you've been reading along at all, you are probably wondering...well, what's the next goal!?!?! 

Well this week, I'm bringing the statistics a bit closer to home and extending my time to complete my goal.  This time, I will run until the goal is complete whether it takes me a week or a month!  My new goal is to run 25 miles.  Why is 25 miles significant you ask?

 

According to the US Census  25.4% of residents in the city of Albany, NY live in poverty.  This is almost twice the state and federal poverty rate.  Essentially, one in four people that you pass on the streets of the City of Albany do not have the financial means to live to their greatest potentials.
