Race Day is Tomorrow!

Dear OYE Family,

Thank you all SO much for all of your support and encouragement as we prepare for the big day tomorrow. Several OYE becados and friends of OYE will also be racing tomorrow and coming to show their support for TEAM OYE. Michael Solis, Iloany Ochoa, Sandra Hadith Alvarado, and several others will join us at the starting line at 7 am tomorrow to run in the name of youth in Honduras. We are getting ready, hydrating and carbo loading, and now it's just up to our legs to take us across that finish line. In my mind, we've already crossed it. We've received 78 donations totaling $4,236 an incredible outpouring of support for OYE's incredible youth. To me, that is what matters most. It doesn't matter who crosses the finish line first or who raises more money or has more supporters. We are all in this together, running for young people running their own lives, their own futures, and their own countries. Your generous donations will fund programs giving young people the opportunity to create change around them. Thank you for believing in OYE's youth and for showing that their contributions to the world matter. If you haven't made your donation yet and are planning to, you can donate on the "Chipin" boxes located on the sidebars.

Thank you again and we will fill you in on how the race goes tomorrow!

Love,
Ana Luisa
