Thank you to all of our friends and family who have supported us throughout this journey. The journey is not over. If you would like to continue to hear about or support Zach's Run and our adoption please send us an email and we will keep you updated. God Bless, Zach and Kylie |
![]() Here’s the Deal. We are Zach and Kylie. We have been married for eight years and live in Boulder. We are adopting a baby from South Africa. Zach loves to run and has decided to run the Leadville 100 race. So, we decided to combine these two massive adventures. With your help “Zach’s Run” will get us a little closer to bringing home our baby from South Africa. At 4 a.m. on Saturday, August 20 Zach will begin his 100 mile journey through the mountains surrounding Leadville, Colorado. By partnering with us on this journey you can purchase a play list for Zach’s Run. Zach will be listening to music that you all, our friends and family, have chosen for him each step, mile, hill, and mountain pass, through good weather and bad, through the day and the night. Torture him or inspire him – it is up to you. This music will represent the people in our lives, their stories, their sense of humor, and their inspiration. The money raised will help us pay for our trip to South Africa as well as a donation to the orphanage in South Africa, a country with more than 2 million orphans. Through faith, hope, and perseverance Zach will run through the mountains and we will bring a baby from South Africa into our family. Here’s How It Works. You create a playlist for Zach’s Run. Pick one song, five songs, ten songs, or more. Choose any song that you like. Choose your favorite songs of all time. Choose the songs that illustrate your life. Choose your favorite songs at this moment. Choose the songs that have meaning to you. Choose songs that make you laugh or songs that make you cry. Most of all choose songs so that when Zach is running through the quiet, cold Colorado night he thinks of you and smiles. Through your music selection you will be running alongside Zach, and more importantly running alongside us as we adopt our baby from South Africa. If you like, you may also give a flat donation. Have questions? Contact Zach and Kylie for additional information, mailing address or payment information at zachsrun@gmail.com Inspiration I lift my eyes to the mountains – where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. – Psalm 121:1-2 "Running to him was real, the way he did it the realist thing he knew. It was all joy and woe, hard as diamond; it made him weary beyond comprehension. But it also made him free." – Once a Runner I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. – John 14:18 |
