 CHIP TIMED by ITZ ABOUT TIME.  PROCEEDS help form Ware in the World Foundation. Proceeds from the races go to supporting the needs Caren Ware has RAN into Running remotely around the world.  We currently are gifting proceeds to Nepalese villages and their medical and schooling needs, plus helping them create means of healthy income during the monsoon seasons. We opened Take Care Beauty Salon in the school village of Sotang so the moms could earn money for their children's school supplies. We covered costs for baby births so children and young mother's have safe deliveries. And we provided trekking shoes, jackets, and sleeping bags for the guides and porters, plus help with tuition for kids to go to school.  It 's exciting and healthy to gift back!  Our hearts should be our biggest muscle!  Read Caren Ware's book FINDING FIT available on Amazon.  To be released by Dec. 1, 2023!
