RunFAR

RunFAR (Run for African Relief) is a very simple concept, and a great way for anyone to get involved in the mission of Covenant Mercies! Simply sign up for any kind of fitness event (a run, walk, run/walk, triathlon, bike race, etc.) in your own geographical area, and use it as an opportunity to ask your friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc., to make a gift to Covenant Mercies in support of your efforts.

There are three simple steps to getting involved in RunFAR...

1. Decide what type of fitness event you want to participate in. Remember that any type is acceptable... choose the event that's right for you!

2. Register for RunFAR by clicking here, and receive a free RunFAR running shirt as our way of saying thanks for helping us to raise funds.

3. Begin training, and begin asking friends, neighbors, co-workers to support you (when you register, we will provide you with a sample e-mail that you can edit and send to your friends)

It's that simple! Please register for RunFAR today, and allow our children in Uganda, Zambia, and Ethiopia to provide you with some extra motivation toward your fitness goals. If you have questions, you may send them to us at info@covenantmercies.org.

If you raise $500 or more in run/walk sponsorships, we will send you your choice of five running-themed images from our exclusive Portraits of Hope collection. If you're not able to run this year but you'd like to support someone else, encourage a friend to participate! Or, click here to make a contribution in support of Doug's run.

Thanks for considering whether you might run a few miles, and make a world of difference!
