<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">This race is now over. Thank you for all your sponsorship which will enable us to bring further blessing to Burkina Faso.<br><br></span></strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Half of all funds raised will go towards the building of the Gorom-Gorom primary school, and the rest will be used where most needed for APT's other work of poverty relief, community development, church planting etc. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">I finished the race in 52mins, 22 secs, which was my best time by over 2 minutes, so I was very happy. Quite a few people from Glenwood Church also ran with me, and many others came to cheer us on. <br></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">It was the fifth and final 10k race I have been running as part of the "Faso Five-O" fundraising, in celebration of my 50th birthday and Burkina Faso's 50th year of independence, </span><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">to raise funds for our work with APT, bringing God's blessing to Burkina Faso. </span><br><br><span style="color: #0000ff;">This page will continue to receive donations for a few more weeks</span>.
