Description: Shepherds of the Meek is a mission to serve organizations run by Catholic Sisters in developing nations that focus on the basic needs of the children in their care. Our focus has been in Colombia, S.A., but ultimately for any child, anywhere, whose immediate health and safety are in danger. Their families have abandoned many. Some are victims of domestic violence. Many are victims of street violence. If we do nothing, they will starve, turn to a life of abuse, addiction, crime, sex trafficking, etc…. 100% of the profit from the race primarily assists with building repairs and/or building-related operational costs. We also need help with educational supplies and general aid for the sisters. Your race registration is a true blessing! Thank you!
