Tiffany Koyano Saving in Korea

Tiffany is currently in Seoul Korea on a missionary trip with Inland Church group. Her primary goal will be to witness and share the word of God to young children and teach english phonics. She will be busy teaching for the first two weeks while the third week of the trip will be for personal enrichment and plain having fun visiting other areas of Korea. The group left on July 23rd and plan to return on August 8th. I haven't received any pictures as of yet, we've received an email and phone calls. (Twitter and Facebook sightings) but we trust in the Lord she is in good hands and very busy. We'll keep everyone posted.

A message from Stephanie Koyano:

I just wanted to pass on some news to those of you who may not know. I
have decided to run a full marathon! I will be running 26.2 miles in
San Francisco on October 19th for the Nike "Run like a Girl" marathon.
I am training with a group who raises money for the Leukemia and
Lymphoma Society and I have met some great people so far. I am both
excited and a little nervous, but am happy to have made the commitment
to such a great cause. My goal is to raise $3,200 for blood cancer
research by the beginning of October and as a result I have a website
that I would like to share with everyone where you can donate if you
would like. Thanks for taking the time everyone! Wish me luck!

Read more about this event and check out her website below:

Twenty years ago, a group of athletes from the New York area hired a coach and trained for the New York City Marathon while raising money for blood cancer research. The inspiration for their endeavor was a leukemia patient, Georgia Cleland, the young daughter of the team's organizer, Bruce Cleland. From this effort the seed was planted for TNT, which today trains approximately 39,000 people a year to participate in marathons, half marathons, triathlons and 100-mile cycling events.

Since that first team crossed the finish line, more than 360,000 TNT participants have raised more than $850 million for blood cancer research and patient services. Now, TNT is setting its sights on reaching the $1 billion mark by the end of this 20th anniversary celebration year!
