Link:  Run for Jesus | TOGETHER - Compassion Switzerland Fundraising

My fundraising project "Run for Jesus" is aimed at all those who want to support those in need in these difficult times in the spirit of the core message of Jesus Christ: Love your neighbour as yourself. My goal is to raise CHF 1,000 to support mothers in need and their children. Up to a donation amount of CHF 1,000, I will match every donation received, which means that at the end of the day we will hopefully reach at least CHF 2,000. Should it become more, that would of course be great.

Run for Jesus is connected with a mountain running event that will take place on 8 October in Lenzerheide. I will run over 26 kilometres, 1,700 metres up and then back down again and - God willing - also overcome the Rothorn. So it's a real challenge and you can find details at the following link (I'm taking part in the so-called Speed Trail):

Personally, I am an enthusiastic endurance athlete and try to use this gift that God has given me ("never give up") in God's sense. Last year, with the extraordinary support of all donors, I carried out the TOGETHER fundraising project "Tri for God" (long-distance triathlon in Roth, Germany) and am now looking forward to the new project "Run for Jesus".

Since nothing works without all of you, I appreciate your support and God bless you all!
