A Story about a weak moment and a Tutu

  

It is with some regret that I share with you a commitment that I made a weak moment of my life.  As many of you know our family has a passion to care for the orphan and I transitioned from the business world to work for HopeChest in Colorado Springs.  Working within our calling has been a blessing and has been fueled all the more as I have visited the HopeChest operations in Russia and Africa over recent months.

 

Fundraising is a critical component of my role here at HopeChest and we tend to get very creative when trying to gain support for our operations.  In June of this year a couple of our volunteer supporters challenged our leadership to run a race in Richmond Virginia to raise funds for the ministry.  Vince Giordano and I agreed to do so although Tom Davis had ‘prior commitments’.  No big deal huh….  Something to motivate me to get in shape while also raising funds for the ministry.  There was one condition –

 

I have to run it in a tutu!

 

I need to turn this humiliation into Kingdom Fruit!  This is where you come in.  I will be selling pictures of me crossing the finish line in the garb for the following:

 

Wallet =   $ 25

5 X 7 =    $ 100

8.5 X11 =    $ 250

 

100% of the donation will support the HopeChest orphan care ministry and is tax deductible.

 

Please email me at rmudd@hopechest.org if you are inclined to order a photo and support HopeChest.

I am sure that the tutu will be lovely. The rest of us will be wearing running shorts! Can't wait to see you in Richmond!

Not sure if an 8.5x11 picture of my boss in a tutu is appropriate...just saying ;-0
