We've made it ... now it's up to me ... and you! (let's add a library!)
Saturday is Grandma's Marathon, and my Run for China's Children.
--------------------------------------------
Results as of Wednesday, June 13 - 3 days till the Run for China (read more) ...
- Total Money Pledged: $6,200 !!!
Note: $6k rebuilds the JiaYou Primary School in rural China. Money raised above $6k will purchase books for the JiaYou library. This September, I will trek into the mountains of southern China and personally deliver the books to JiaYou. After all, a school building is nothing but an empty shell without teachers and books!
In lieu of new cash donations, you are welcome to send books in English or Mandarin which are educationally appropriate for pre-school through the 3rd grade to:
- Richard Hoeg
- 3924 Wisconsin Avenue North
- New Hope, Minnesota 55427 U.S.A.
Used books in excellent condition are welcome.

The last few weeks have been fun. I've received lots of nice media attention. Over the past few days I've been interviewed by multiple newspapers, and will "run for the TV cameras" this afternoon! With all the attention, I need to constantly remind myself this effort is not about me. It's about the children and the fine work that the China Tomorrow Education Foundation is doing. I'll post this weekend after the big race, but the effort never truly ends ...
