Every Mile Counts at the Durham Rescue Mission 2014

Welcome to the Every Mile Counts, a page dedicated to the Durham Rescue Mission.  I have adopted the Durham Rescue Mission as my charity of choice.  Throughout 2014, with each mile run, I will donate $2.05 (the cost of one meal) to the mission.  I generally run 1500 -1800 miles a year.  There is a guaranteed automatic commitment of $100 per month to support Operation Daily Bread, affording the women’s and men’s division one day of sponsorship.  The additional donations will be made monthly to reconcile the number of miles run.  I challenge all runners to do the same and term this RACE (Runners Adopting Charities Endure).  Runners are generally a charitable bunch and every race supports some form of charity.  But, let’s make every mile count.  If you are not a runner or you’re a corporate/academic/healthcare good neighbor, then live vicariously through this runner by matching, at some level, the commitment for each mile run.  The number of miles run is posted weekly and monthly here and daily along with my blog posts on In The Moment Running.  To determine the contribution this program generates, please refer to RACE in any donation or commitment.  The Durham Rescue Mission would welcome any level of commitment.  To donate, please go to Durham Rescue Mission.
