| On Your Marks. Get Set. Help. | World Vision half-marathon | 
 Nearly 1 billion people drink dirty water everyday, leading to disease, and in some cases, death.
On March 24, 2012, Trinity Grace Church will help raise funds to provide clean water in Africa by participating in this year's NYC half-marathon for Team World Vision. Joining nearly 1000 other runners from around the city, we'll get in shape and leverage our resources to help Africans in countries like Kenya and Ethiopia gain access to one of life's basic necessities: water.
Each parish has its own team-ask for more details at your neighborhood gathering or locate your team online and sign up!
