Have You Heard of Ellie's Run for Africa?

Have you ever heard of Ellie's Run for Africa? Ellie's Run for Africa is a race started by a 10-year-old girl named Ellie Ambrose. She got the idea when she heard a missionary talk about kids in Kenya so that they can have books, uniforms, and shoes they need for school. Ellie's Run for Africa is a great way to help raise money for kids in Africa. You should get involved with this wonderful race.

First of all, you can help raise money for kids in Kibera, Kenya. There are some great prizes depending on how much money you raise. And if you go, there are always cool t-shirts. There is a kid's race that is only a mile long, and also an adult race that is three miles long. When you race, you have the name of a child in Africa on your back. The name is of one of the kids at the school that Ellie's Run raises money for. I like this because, it helps me remember that there are real kids there that need school. There are fun activities such as face painting and big inflatables. Before and after the race there is food, drinks and snacks. There is African dancing and carnival-like games as well. Ellie's Run for Africa has raised over $210,000 for the kids.

I love Ellie's Run because I LOVE helping the kids. I think they should have a good education and be brought up to know Christ. I can't wait till my dad takes me to see them. Even if they are on the other side of the world, I still believe we can make a big difference here in Tennessee. Maybe you are not as passionate for kids in Kenya as I am, or maybe you don't like to run, but even if you just like to have plain old fun its a great place to be. And who knows whom you will see there-maybe you will even see me! I will see you at Ellie's Run this year!
