CENTRAL CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
The Prairie Spirit Trail 100-Mile Run will again provide an opportunity for Central Christian School Superintendent Dr. John Walker to combine endurance, faith, and and generosity in support of students at CCS.
Dr. Walker will compete in the 100-mile ultramarathon, from Ottawa to Iola and then back to Ottawa, to raise awareness and financial support for CCS tuition assistance. His goal is to help make a biblical education more accessible for families who desire it.
This is not the first time Dr. Walker has taken on the challenge. During a previous run, he completed a challenging 101.5 miles, and through the generosity of donors, nearly $20,000 was raised to help provide tuition assistance for CCS students.
Supporters are invited to make a flat donation or pledge an amount for each mile that Dr. Walker completes. All proceeds will go directly toward tuition assistance at CCS.
Dr. Walker says the challenge is about more than endurance. “Running these miles is how I hope to inspire our students to do hard things for other people,” he said. "It's an opportunity to them that perseverance, faith, and sacrifice can be used to serve others and make a difference. As Scripture says, suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, and character produces hope."
Community members, alumni, parents, and friends of the school are encouraged to participate and help expand access to biblical education through their support.
