I am very pleased to welcome you on behalf of the Running For Hope Inc . While I was a soldier in Lebanon in 1985, in a mission to defuse missiles aimed to our position, I stepped on a land mine and lost my leg. But through this traumatic event, God spiritually did a work in my life that far outweighed any physical tragedy. For in crying out to God to save me, he not only preserved my life on this earth, but he changed my heart for eternity. My longing is to tell as many people as possible about the saving grace of God in my life and to help others overcome disabilities of all kinds -- mental, physical, social, financial, relational and spiritual.
Recently I decided one way to share the hope in my life was to begin running again. The idea of ever running again after losing my leg seemed impossible. Now I am ready to find out that my dream to run is not only for eternal life in the future, but also for this present time on earth. My plan is to run a half marathon in 2008.
Running for Hope always wishes you the best.
