Kenya is known for producing the world’s fastest runners. On October 13, 2013 many of them will gather in the rural village of Kipkaren to run a marathon in celebration of World Hospice Day. The run will begin and end at Kimbilio Hospice and will honor the lives and the memory of our guests.
The Kiswahili word Kimbilio, when literally translated, means “a place to run to.” For the sick and dying, in desperate need of care, Kimbilio Hospice has lived up to its name. And we believe it is worth running for.
As we have prayed, dreamed and planned Kenya’s marathon, we have imagined friends from around the world, joining us in this meaningful occasion. In Swahili, the word harambee means: “let’s come together.” We want to do just that.
We are inviting you, your friends and coworkers to join Team Living Room in local races across the States (or even with us in Kenya). Your participation will help adults and children at Kimbilio Hospice receive hope and freedom from pain. Click on this video link to learn more…

Not a Runner? There are other ways to get involved…
There are also opportunities for people to volunteer, corporate sponsorship or to simply share this vision. Please help us promote Team Living Room on Facebook or Twitter by forwarding this email. Invite friends, family, church groups, coworkers, and anyone you know who might want to be a part of the team. All funds raised will go to further the work of Living Room’s Kimbilio Hospice.
