Haiti to Heartbreak Hill for Heartline

About this Fundraiser

An Endurance Race for Heartline Ministries

Greetings from Haiti!

Beth McHoul, a Boston native, has been living and working in Haiti for 25 years.

Beth has been invited to run in the Boston Marathon on April 21, 2014. She will be training on the streets of Port au Prince in preparation for this amazing event and opportunity. She hopes to raise funds and awareness of Heartline's work via her endeavours - from Haiti to Heartbreak Hill.

She and her husband John are the founding directors of Heartline Ministries in the capital city of Port au Prince.

Heartline Ministries consists of:

Women's Education Center - cooking, sewing, literacy, and art classes

Maternity Center - labor and delivery services plus pre-natal and postpartum care, early childhood development classes

Men's Discipleship program/Bakery - Biblical training and instruction coupled with vocational training

Guest House - a home for travellers and visitors to Port au Prince

Heartline Ministries is not simply a collection of programs. Our staff, missionaries, supporters, donors, sponsors, and volunteers are the Body of Christ, running towards a mission.

Our mission is to intentionally walk alongside impoverished men, women, and children in Haiti, meeting critical physical, emotional, financial, educational, and most importantly - spiritual needs.

It takes a marathon-type effort to be successful with our mission

From Beth:

"This particular 26.2 mile run is personal. This is my grand finale as an aging marathoner training in the midst of a third world city. Also, my run is public. I am asking supporters everywhere to pledge money towards Heartline Ministries in Haiti to fight poverty and injustice."

We ask that you consider helping us towards our fundraising goal of $260,000, $10,000 for each mile Beth will run in Boston. This amount also equals the total amount of operational costs required to run all the women's programs for one year.

This marathon campaign will "run" through 2014.

If you are involved in a race this year and would like to raise funds and awareness for Heartline during your own race, please share this site. We would love to have several fundraising races attached to this campaign in order to meet our goal and maximize our impact in Haiti.

In the Grip of His Grace,

John and Beth McHoul and the Heartline Team
