My feet are pounding the street for a greater cause! As a member of Team IOCC, I'm dedicating my race to raising funds for International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC).

The dollars that we raise will help provide life-saving and life-sustaining services--without discrimination--to some of the world's most vulnerable populations in over 60 countries, including the United States, Syria, Lebanon, and Ukraine. Among its other programming, IOCC has done the following:

** In western Ukraine, regular distributions of foods, hygiene items, and more to 5,000 people in shelters.

** Monthly groceries and essential supplies for 3,200 families in Romania who are hosting Ukrainian refugees.

** IOCC provided psychosocial support to more than 17,375 people in Syria to enhance their resilience amid crisis.

** In Lebanon, more than 153,000 people received aid in the year after the Beirut explosion—including emergency food, health support, and repairs to homes and businesses.

** In the US, IOCC volunteers put in more than 1,000 hours toward long-term recovery efforts following natural disasters.

Please help me reach my fundraising goal by making a donation--large or small--to help IOCC provide the tools needed to help rebuild communities, one family at a time. Every single gift makes a difference!
