5k Run to emPOWER

Hello all! On Saturday, I will be partipating in the emPOWER campaign's "5k Run to emPOWER." The money raised for this year's event will go towards building a school for Ugandan children, many of whom have lost parents to and are infected with HIV/AIDS.

My main goal in completing the 5k is to raise awareness about the effects of HIV in Africa, however I would also like to do my part in helping emPOWER build their school. By going to the link below, you can help them reach their goal by sponsoring me!

Thanks!
