Why Run For Orphans?

Due to the HIV/AIDS world crisis, many children have been adversely affected in the following ways:

  • More than 15 million have been orphaned (lost one or both parents) to AIDS
  • By 2010, the number of children orphaned by AIDS will exceed 20 million (Africa alone will have nearly 16 million of these desperate children)
  • There are already 37 million orphans from other causes (including disease, malnutrition, famine, and war)
  • Every day almost 30,000 children die due to malnutrition, disease, and/or war
  • The number of children orphaned by AIDS in Africa is already more than 11 million--and this number is increasing at a rate that is FIVE times faster than the total population of children on that continent
