As part of our open accountability policy, I wanted it to be known that last week we mailed our first donation check to Darfur Peace and Development Organization (DPDO) for $1500.00.

A big *thank you* to all who have supported us so far and to the Train for Humanity volunteer board members; Andrew Flusche, Jarkko Laine, Dan Clements, and Leo Babauta. It was far from our original goal, but the TFH team members feel that every little bit helps!

We are truly grateful to be able to support the important work that DPDO is undertaking as they work to create sustainable education programs for Darfur.

I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our newest ‘participant’ athletes. In no particular order they are:
