Super Hero Saturday - Daren Wendell


If you haven’t heard about or read about Daren Wendell – you are SO missing out! Mr. May met this AMAZING man while they were both hiking the AT (Appalachian Trail for all of us non hikers) and I had the great honor and pleasure of being introduced when Daren swung through Birmingham. Daren has a commitment to God, philanthropy, and health like no person I have ever known. I can only hope to be him “when I grow up”. If you Google Daren you will not believe everything he has accomplished in the name of water. Wait, what? WATER. Yes – Daren has devoted his life to walking, swimming, cycling, and running all to bring attention to the need for safe drinking water around the globe. Daren is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of activewater – you can find their website at activewater.org.  And - this will flip your lid - Daren is running 100 marathons in 100 days.  Mmmm hmmm . . . you read that right, 100  Marathons in 100 Days to help Africa. (see why he is my Hero??) You have GOT to check all of the details out at www.rundarenrun.com  Please help him reach his goal!
