Jeff and I will both celebrate birthdays here in Haiti during 2009… Last year Jeff ran 35km on his 35th birthday and raised over $500 for the Mennonite Central Committee’s reforestation and environmental education programs in Haiti. Thank you to those of you that supported his “mini-marathon.”
Jeff had a plan to walk 36 miles for his 36th birthday, which most of our Haitian friends think is absolutely CRAZY. We’ve decided to wait until my birthday for that activity as its stinkin’ hot and we need a little bit of time to train. We’ve also decided to make it a Walk-a-thon this year so that we can enjoy the scenery and invite others to join us—not sure yet if we’ll do 36km or 36 miles…Our “36 for 36 years walk-a-thon” will happen the day after Thanksgiving—its not a big shopping day here. We’ll plan our route via google earth so you can join us virtually!
Until then… Here are a few photos of Jeff’s birthday celebration! What birthday would be complete without a crown and a birthday vest?
Yo -- How can I be the first comment? Happy B-DAY JEFF.
