This drive supports the participation of MarathonMark (Mark Benedict) in this race: Mark's Midnight Marathon.
Here's my first marathon drive... How does one run a marathon in Georgia, in July you wonder? Very carefully (and at night...hence the name). In the hierarchy of needs, hunger is #1-- let's start here. You can donate the whole ($25) or just a part. My 'midnight' race will be July 8. Please give before then. If you were planning on giving me a bday present, PLEASE do this instead (if you send me a check, I'll just use it for this anyway:)

Problem

Malnutrition is a leading cause of death and disease in poor countries, and food handouts are not the solution. IMC works with local communities to give women the knowledge and supplies they need to sustainably farm small plots of land.

The Gift

Your gift can provide seeds and tools for one woman. When you give a woman something as simple as the seeds and tools she needs to grow food, you are empowering her and her entire community to break free from the cycle of hunger and disease. You are supporting good nutrition, promoting sustainable agriculture, and helping to strengthen communities that have been affected by conflict and famine. And since IMC teaches women to grow plants found in their local environment, you are also preserving cultural knowledge about local crops.
