The McGovern-Early Family makes a (muddy) splash for Ethiopia

Offline donations: $1000

What could be more fun than running and rolling in the mud over 3.1 miles??  We certainly can't think of anything!  Add that this muddy splash supports the work of WEEMA International, and you've got the prefect combination for the most awesome, hilarious and meaningful event ever!

On Saturday morning, July 26th, our family (Liz, Scott, Biniam and Emma) will join the rest of Team-a WEEMA for the Dirty Dash in Amesbury, MA.
