T-Minus Twelve Hours and Counting

In twelve hours my companions and I will begin our 1,300 mile journey halfway across the country.

In less than half a day, we will take our first steps toward Washington D.C. to raise awareness of genocide still occurring today and to raise funds for those poor souls caught in the midst of these atrocities.

Some may say, “Hey, what are you going to do? You’re only 19 years old! What can you possibly hope to achieve?” Well, myself along with my companions are about to show them what we can do. With over $20,000 of donations already received and all the media attention we’ve already been exposed to, we’ve shown people what we will do.

We know we have to take the initiative to change what’s happening in the world. I believe with every part of my being that one person can change the world in a drastic way. When one person speaks up, another will stand alongside and speak up, too. And then another and another until everyone starts to shout. And then we’ll yell. And then we’ll scream. And we’ll scream until we scream so loud that they’ll have no choice but to listen.

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this endeavor thus far! Please spread the word about this relay to everyone you know and together we’ll change the world!
