About Team Mercy Project

Team Mercy Project is the answer to this question: What can I do today to make a difference. All too often we find ourselves sitting on the sidelines. We watch the news about people doing inspiring things, we read blogs about people who's lives we find interesting, we hear stories that break our hearts, but all to often our reaction is to do nothing. This Team is a team born around the premise that doing nothing, is simply not acceptable. We will not sit by as kids are sold in to slavery and do nothing about it, we will not let fear get in the way of possibility, and lastly we will not sit on the couch and let everyone around us have all the fun. 

This Team is being put together for a purpose: to raise the money necessary to get kids out of slavery. The stories you  hear will break your heart and simultaneously give you an enormous amount of pride in what you are doing. But this team is also being put together for you. Running or walking a half or full marathon is a daunting thing, and I still find it inspiring to watch someone achieve their first running milestone. Individually this sport is alright. It is fun to have that sense of achievement that comes with finishing a race. But the experience that comes from training and "racing" with a team is an entirely new level.

That is what Team Mercy Project is all about... offering a new level of life to both children in Africa, and you AT THE SAME TIME!!! I can promise you that whether you are training for your first half marathon, or attempting to qualify for the Boston Marathon, this will not always be easy. But I can also promise you that if you give yourself the opportunity to succeed, you will surprise yourself and be proud at the end of the Journey.

So come join our Team, and allow God to start touching your life, and those lives that will be irrevocably made better by the decision you make today.
