TIME TO PUT UP!
This contribution to my blog is an unashamed, undisguised, flat out appeal for money. Hey, it's my blog so I can do what I like.
Two weeks from now will mark an outstanding milestone in my life. It's no great shakes to a lot of people, but for everyone who has known me for any part of my seriously obese first 55 years of life, participating in a 10K race is something you know you never expected to hear of Roger Blackmore doing.
It will be quite the achievement for me, even though it's not exactly the New York Marathon.
I hope September 16th will be a milestone to some other people who mean a lot to me too. I'm running for the abused and orphaned children who have been rescued from an awful existences in the South African township of Kurland and have found new life and new hope through the Kids Explosion program we sponsor there.
Our accommodations over there are stretched to the limit and we need a new house to take in more boys and girls. So along with the team from our church, I'm looking for sponsors who will help me help these children.
So ... whether you're an occasional or regular reader, if my written thoughts ever raised a smile from you, helped a light go on, encouraged you to keep moving forward or downright annoyed you, I'm asking for you to help.
Congratulate me on losing 110lb of fat and getting in shape, but above all help kids in need in a place I love by sending a spopnsorship donation to me at -
Grace Ministries,
35 Pine Road, Coram, NY 11727
Checks should be made payable to - Grace Ministries: Kids Explosion and donations are tax-deductible.
Thank you for encouraging me and investing in precious young lives!
Okay, don't just sit there - DO IT!
