Darfur.  A large region in Western Sudan.  A region that is experiencing genocide.  A region that needs our attention, NOW!  About 500,000 people have died.  2.5 million people have been displaced from their homes. 

This past Sunday, Oct 28, 2007, we participated in a Torch Relay which spanned 15 miles throughout Omaha.  I had the 10th mile leg, and I had three great friends agree to give up a bit of their Sunday morning to join me!  Lisa, Erika, and Tracy... Thank you so much for your support!! 

To my friends Shata and Muhammad... I'm so blessed that I met you few months ago.  You two are just a few of the incredible Darfurians in our community and I am proud to be your friend, and your partner in promoting peace in Sudan.
