Team Bermejo - Deeper Love, Greater Courage

Team Bermejo is dusting off the running shoes and has signed up for the Orange County Half Marathon, which will take place on Sunday, May 2, 2010.

We have set an ambitious goal to (1) run after years of sedentary living; (2) complete a race with the newest team member, Tomoki, age 2, who has never done anything like this before; and (3) raise money for sex trafficking survivors in Cebu, Philippines.

Our goals are to:

- take better care of the one body we have been given by our Creator
- enjoy every mile knowing that every step, every breath is grace. Papa will be pushing Tomoki in a jogger stroller. Papa does the work, baby's job is to trust.
- raise $1310 for My Refuge House, which is a safehouse for rescued survivors of sex trafficking in Cebu.

Team Bermejo is looking for 100 to donate $13.10 - that's $1 for every mile. We can do this - step-by-step, mile-by-mile, one person at a time restoring one life at a time. This is how you complete a half-marathon and certainly how you tackle an epic evil such as sex trafficking.

All we need is a deeper love, and greater courage - which is the motto of Team Bermejo.

We will post more details on this blog in the next few days. God bless!
