Running Thoughts: Two Days Away

So here we are, at the last stretch- just a couple of days away from the big event.
Are we ready? I suppose as the saying goes, hope for the best, expect the worst.
Hopefully the weeks of training will pay off or at least minimize the pain of recovery.

And by the end of the Run- you should "walk it out"...


But our purpose has shifted as most of us on our team if not all, have decided to focus the event on a greater cause...as we want to support our medical missions team as they head to Mongolia later this month.
If you by chance come upon this site, and you've enjoyed our journey thus far- we like to ask if you'd like to partner with us as we do this- together.



:: HPM Short Term Mission Team to Mongolia ::
The Trip: October 27 - November 4

:: Quick info about Mongolia ::
-The proportion of the population below the poverty line is estimated to be 36.1% in 2004, and both the unemployment rate and inflation rate are high at 3.3% and 9.5%
-50% of Mongolia's population is Buddhist-Lamaist, which is related to Tibetan Buddhism. 40% is listed as having no religion, 6% is Shaminist or Christian, and 4% is Muslim.

:: The Purpose ::
Young Nak Church's HPM (Healthcare Professional Ministry) short term mission team will be working with long-term missionaries in serving at the Yonsei Friendship Hospital: treating poor, underserved patients with little or no ready access to medical care, teaching nursing/medical students at a school founded by missionaries, and setting up mobile clinics in partnership with New Life Church. The team will be donating many boxes of medicines + supplies, and specific medical equipments that are in deep need. They plan to teach + educate the local doctors about the proper use, maintenance, and cleaning of such equipment.

:: Projected Team Goal ::
$10,000 - $15,000 to cover the cost of medical supplies/equipment
