Running for Enlightenment

Here is a collection of inspiration running films on YouTube that I discovered today. They coincide very well with the Non-profit organization that I am working on putting together. I will be putting together my own video detailing my plan for this fall and hopefully reaching out to people would like to join the cause. What is the cause? The cause is to take the most simple activity, running, into the realm of spiritual awakening. There are so many runners out there, running for exercise, running for entertainment, running for energy(yes, your body will be able to create more energy the more you run), and running for sport. I want to bring runners of all backgrounds and abilities together to run for a charitable cause. This will make the stress-relieving and healthy activity even more beneficial and more fun. Next time you run, try running with an honest purpose and feel the power inside of yourself.





My vision is to bring runners together to raise money for charity. They will not have to pay to run , but they will be wearing t-shirts that will identify them with this particular organization. We will run together at least every Sunday. Buy a t-shirt, run with a group, and people will be able to view the website by looking at the t-shirt. The viewers of the website will be able to engage in setting up marathons for local causes and donate. I'm not expecting to receive a lot of donations from the website rather bring awareness to certain marathons and road races where people will donate to run and watch the run. Hopefully these marathons and races will evolve into charitable festivals in which people will donate their skills, talents, and hard work to entertain and engage people while raising money, having fun, and creating community.
