On March 1st, Chris Marlow, Help One Now Founder and CEO, turns 50. Rather than dreading or shying away from this significant milestone, Chris is committed to facing it head-on and setting an audacious goal, both for himself and for families around the world. Chris is calling his 50th-year journey 5 for 500.
He will embark on the pursuit of completing 5 endurance events: physical, mental, and spiritual. And he is doing them all to raise the funds to empower 500 families to launch their own businesses and build a better life for themselves through the Family Business Program.
Help One Now is inviting you to join Chris on his 5 for 500 journey!
This year, let’s choose generosity. Let’s step out of our comfort zones, just like Chris, and run toward a goal, worthy of personal sacrifice and designed for impact. With your generous partnership, we can reach our goal of helping empower individuals, locally and globally, as we work to end extreme poverty. Together let’s step out in generosity and build healthy families and healthy communities around the globe.
