Run 4 Poverty: New Zealand
In March, Deyl Kearin and Gregg Starr embarked on the sixth Run4Poverty. Each runner attacked an insane 155-mile course through the ancient forests, high plateaus, vast valleys, and challenging terrain on the South Island of New Zealand...in only 6 days...which is basically a marathon each day! Why did they attempt to do it? They wanted to challenge themselves. But even more so because they believe that Opportunity International is changing the world by helping impoverished people start life-sustaining businesses and have access to education through its microloan and EduFinance programs. Help them continue to create a route out of poverty through access to education by donating today!
