2 Cups of Coffee and Spread the Word
Since I have decided to run the London virtual marathon to help me get fit again after the pandemic, I decided it would be ideal to give back by helping to raise money for some of the world's communities that are badly affected by conflict and violence. These communities have struggled over the past year due to the pandemic. I hate asking for money UNLESS it is for a good cause. So I am not. Instead, I am asking for 2 cups of coffee "money" and to spread the word.
CHIPS is a fantastic small Christian peacemaking charity which partners with communities around the world to help them break down divisions and tackle the root causes of violence, from knife and gun crime among young people in London, to longstanding tribal conflict in Ghana. You can read more about the great work they do here [add a hyperlink to our website www.chipspeace.org]
I am raising money to keep peace in the communities of the world in which proving yourself via guns and violence outweighs negotiating and peace. I have created a platform in which I have 4 goals I am hoping you can help us with:
1. Donate. My goal is to reach 170 supporters and have them donate 2 Starbucks worth of coffee ($10).
2. Awareness. If everyone would spread the word to just 1 person about the Chips project via any method that works for them: in person, social media, advertisement, etc. This would help us let friends know this Charity is out there changing people's lives.
3. Support. As we go thru this together, we can see the growth, changes, and ultimately, our goals being reached both as a runner and as a CHIPS supporter.
4. Make a Difference. As we all have many choices and opportunities to make a difference, together we can make a difference with this London Marathoner for peace one runner at a time.
Thank you
