I am thrilled that one of the greatest Olympic runners, Dave Wottle, and his gracious wife have recently provided financial support to the Road to Change project.
First and foremost, thanks for the people of Kalimani who will benefit by receiving clean water.
Secondly, Dave has inspired countless runners with his amazing gold-medal performance in the 1972 Olympic games. I remember watching the race where he was wearing his famous golf cap, which is now in U.S. Track and Field Hall of Fame, coming from the back of the field to out kick the Kenyan runners, which is unheard of today. Dave's win in the 800m is one of the most inspiring runs I have ever seen. You can see the video of his classic win here . You don't have to be a runner to appreciate this gutsy performance. Dave won by running his race. There is a runner's saying that " You don't have to have the lead if you have the courage to come from behind." Dave's was one courageous run.
Thank you for the support for the people of Kalimani and for being a great inspiration for runners.
