Campaign: 2019 Walt Disney World Marathon
Team: Kensington Orlando

Amanda Faraj

I've never enjoyed running, but somehow find myself continuing to sign up for these races! In 2013, my mom decided to run the Detroit Marathon for Hope Water. It was so fun watching her work towards her goal of not only running a long distance, but raising money for the Pokot tribe to have clean water too. I was inspired by her, and for goodness sake, she's my mom! I have to be able to run too, right? I set out to run my first race in October 2014, the Detroit Half Marathon, and then the Disney Marathon in January 2015 and was able to raise money for Hope Water to bring clean water to those who need it. Here I am, a few years later, continually inspired by my Hope Water teammates and motivated by those in Africa we've been able to help, and those who are patiently waiting and praying for clean water. I am thankful for any donation you can make. Please join me in praying for myself and the team as we go on this journey together. I can't wait to cross that finish line once again!
