GREETINGS!!!
My name is Lisa Harper, and I am the Founder of Marathon Mission.
Let me ask you this...
Have you ever wanted to be a part of something truly transforming...some worthy cause bigger than yourself?
Marathon Mission is a non-profit faith and community based charity whose participants are walkers or runners (of all ages and abilities) who raise financial support for missionaries and charitable workers both stateside and abroad. Marathon Mission is an "umbrella charity", providing funding and support for a myriad of worthy causes, such as food banks, orphanages, mission trips, transportation needs, scholarships to needy youth, outreach to inner-city families, clothing, life-changing camps for kids, Christian scouting groups, Bibles, and more.
Why are we doing this? Because life is short. It is not all about us. It is all about God. We want to use our strength to make an enduring impact in the lives of others. We are emboldened to walk or run for a reason beyond ourselves. This Marathon Mission Team realizes that “To whom much is given, much is required.” Indeed, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” In fact, I believe that when we GIVE, we do receive!
William Penn's words are a challenge to us all:
"If there is any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow human being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again."
