If I had to describe myself in two words, I’d say I’m a… 
enthusiastic dream-chaser.
imagine1day... 
when everyone in the world can read a book.
What is the title of your Creatribution™? 
Grand Canyon R2R2R
I don't know what the title will be yet 
no
What is your Creatribution™? 

I am running the Grand Canyon, from the South Rim to the North Rim and back to the South Rim (R2R2R). It is a total of 42 miles/67.4 km and I am hoping to do it in 13 hours.

What do you love, love, love doing? 

Traveling and running!

What do you expect to learn, discover, or achieve through your Creatribution™? 

I imagine this will be quite a journey; both physically and spiritually. When you are a long-distance runner you spend a lot of time in your own headspace. It is a great way to sort out any issues that have been bothering you, or to fully comprehend an upcoming decision, etc. By running in such an amazing location, I fully expect to be blown away by beauty and to experience some soul-searching.

What about imagine1day is most important to you? 

CreatributionTM! Instead of letting people volunteer to do the mundane (answering or making phone calls, canvassing on the street) imagine1day lets you raise funds by doing what you WANT to do. What simple innovation!

What is something you have learned that you NEVER knew before imagine1day? 

100% percent of funds raised goes straight to Ethiopia, and to the projects undertaken by imagine1day.

Why did you choose imagine1day? 

I chose imagine1day because of it's unique approach to a situation that is by no means new. imagine1day is really about a group of enthusiastic, positive individuals making a difference to children in Ethiopia. I have always been an avid reader and I cannot fathom not being able to read and write. Reading allows you to travel the world without ever having to leave your chair. What greater gift can you give? imagine1day is making that a reality in Ethiopia by committing to providing primary education to all children in by 2020.
