2006 Medical Mission Trip to Honduras

In April of 2006, we have planned a four-day working medical clinic in a small village north of the port of Tela, Honduras. The village is called Miami (also known as Baravieja); the people there have expressed great interest in having us come and do medical work and put on a 5K run/walk. A thorough assessment was made last year, and based on the health care needs of the people of the village we agreed to bring a group of medical and non-medical volunteers to Miami. This clinic will be run by nurses, MDs, nurse practitioners and/or physician assistants- whichever of these medical professionals are available to go to Honduras in April. Our goal is to provide primary medical care and teach health education and prevention. Read the Details

Congratulations!

One World Running Director Ana Weir was named a 2005 Hero of Running by Runner's World magazine. She was honored at a gala celebration on Nov. 4, two days before the ING New York City Marathon. It was a wonderful award for Ana, who puts in so much work for the project. In the photo on the right, she and World Championship 100-meter gold medalist Lauryn Williams smile for the camera. Let's hope this is the start of a great 2006 for Ana and the shoe project, and runners around the world.
