Mark Graham

My name is Mark Graham.  I live in Northern Kentucky with my amazing wife and 3 boys.  I am blessed to have an amazing and supportive family.  I am the high school pastor at the First Church of Christ in Burlington, Kentucky.  It has been through my work with students that my eyes have been open to the needs of Haiti.  I can still remember during our trip to Haiti last year as we drove through a town and I watched as a man bent down and drank from a dirty puddle.  I knew that something had to be done to help.

My heart breaks as I have seen so much preventable death take place over the past year in Haiti.  The very need for clean water drives me to find ways to make the crisis known and find ways to help.  I know that I can’t be there on the ground doing everything but i can find ways from where I live to equip those doing the work.

So that is where my running comes in. I can’t solve all the problems but I can run. My hope through my running is that others may become aware and donate for the cause.
