Have you ever seen a Nun on the Run? I have not, but that would be fun! Sounds like a Dr. Suess story, doesn't it? If you haven't, here's your opportunity -
From April 19th to June 19th, 2010, Lisa Smith Batchen, one of the world’s premier ultra-runners, will be the first person to attempt to run 50 miles in each of the 50 states.
Accompanying Lisa on the run will be a small support crew including her good friend and running partner, Sister Mary Beth Lloyd. Sister Mary Beth, 61, belongs to the order of the Religious Teachers Filipini, an order dedicated to education. Sister Mary Beth will run alongside Lisa in her full habit: a black wool tunic over a white shirt and underskirt, black headpiece and a black woolen belt… and sneakers.
Every 14 seconds a Child Headed Household is formed.
A Child Headed Household (CHH) is a small nuclear unit of a family, trying to keep together, trying to uphold the ideals of their society and it traditions. These children have been orphaned by AIDS. There are literally millions of them all over the world and theirs is a life of poverty and deprivation.
The Religious Sisters Filippini provide food, housing and education to as many of these children as possible. These Aids Orphans are working very hard to Rise above their situation in order to have a better life and to be part of Africa's future. These are the Aids Orphans Rising ... and they need your help.
