The 2020 Team World Vision team at Renaissance Church ran or walked a virtual half marathon in New Jersey on October 24 to raise money for clean water, COVID-19 reliefs kits, and hope around the world. We joined the Morristown Half Marathon virtual race.

Help us change more than 2,000 lives in 2020! Our (pre-COVID-19) goal is 100 runners, walkers, and helpers on our team, raising more than $100,000. Just $50 brings clean water to one person in the most vulnerable areas of Africa. Join or support our team to make a difference! (To support a specific runner, find them in the Roster. And yes, many companies will match your donation!)
In 2017, we partnered with World Vision (the largest non-governmental provider of clean water in the world) and raised $43,000 (thanks to Ren Cares’ one-time match), which meant clean water for more than 800 people with 18 runners and walkers. In 2018, our team of 50 runners and walkers raised more than $72,000, bringing water to more than 1,440 people in Africa. In 2019, we raised more than $112,000, bringing clean water to more than 2,220! The 2017 through 2019 races took place in Brooklyn, but we moved to New Jersey in 2020. We raised more than $113,000 during the 2020 global pandemic with a team of about 50 runners, bringing clean water to more than 2,260 with our own “race” in Springfield. We plan to race with the Morristown Halloween Half Marathon in 2021.
For those that were involved in 2017, 2018, 2019 or 2020, whether you ran, contributed financially, or helped logistically, thank you. What you did truly is making a difference.
