The Defining Moment For Why I Run

ByTim Nolte

My run this morning consisted of a combo of an easy and a hard Tuesday run. Though many might see me as not knowing the meaning of an easy run, ha.

I spent a lot of time reflecting on my time in Sierra Leone and the defining moment that occurred and encapsulates why I run. How do you process, and what action do you take when a woman is so desperate for water that she wants you to take her child away so that they have a chance to survive? That was it for me, and for many they would do something unthinkable for their children, let alone themselves, to survive. People tell me I’m crazy for running a marathon. Is anything too crazy to bring life giving water to those in desperate need?
