Two years ago this month I made the decision to travel to Ghana, West Africa for the first time. The trip forever changed the way I view my life and our world. As I look forward to returning to my home in Ghana, West Africa again this summer, this blog will chronicle the joy, excitement, and challenges of working in an orphanage in Ghana, West Africa!

GOAL 1 SURVIVAL CHALLENGE - ACHIEVED!
With my 4 mile run from last night...I have officially hit over 11 miles since Saturday and met my first goal. It wasn't easy, and especially last night I was in need of some inspiration. My inspiration for the night was my mother. She's a strong woman who commands the room, and despite many health challenges over the years, has always had a survival spirit. Yesterday, I ran for my mother, but I also ran to raise more awareness about childhood mortality. We MUST act now to offer life to children...did you know...
In 2003 over 10.6 million children perished before their 5th birthday.
Let's help save a child!
