Description
Run for ONE Adoption Benefit
Adoption is an expensive mission that requires patience, sacrifice, and a village of prayer, love, and support to provide a forever home for ONE child. Join us in supporting ONE family in their journey to bring their child home from Africa ONE run, or walk, at a time.
All proceeds from this 5K/10K run/walk event will go to the Halligan Family's adoption fund. Each finisher will bring home a piece of Africa to show our appreciation for your generous support (while supplies last)!
Meet the Halligan’s
“Hi, we’re the Halligans, a family of five soon to be six! As children, Zach and I were exposed to the reality of brokenness and poverty around the world. We both had opportunities to spend an extended period of time in Africa. Those experiences led us to our decision to adopt. There’s a quote that says, “…orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names…see their faces…hold them in your arms. But once you do everything changes.” That was true for us. After playing with, cuddling and rocking babies who go to sleep with no one to call their own we knew we could offer hope and a family to one, now two, of the 153 million orphans. We currently have two biological children and one daughter adopted from Uganda. This time we will return to the place I left my heart ten years ago, South Africa. Thank you for joining us on this journey to bring our child home.”
