Child Abduction

Sometimes personal tragic events lead to a new mission.

Erin Runnion, the mother of 5-year-old Samantha who was kidnapped and killed in July, said she was just as unnerved as the rest of the nation when a stranger took her daughter in broad daylight outside her home.

Erin explains that since her family tragedy, a fund was created in her daughter's name to support victms of and educate the public about child abuse and abduction. The Joyful Child Fund: In Memory of Samantha Runnion will facilitate community respite and child watch programs; support nonprofit programs to enrich children through art, writing and education; and support research and development of predator and recidivism prevention measures.

One Wheel, Many Spokes

Lars Clausen, a Lutheran pastor, is unicycling across the country to raise money for the Inupiat Eskimos of the Seward Peninsula to whom he once ministered. The Seward Peninsula Lutheran Endowment's goal is $5,000,000, and Clausen has helped them raise $250,000.

Clausen says the money will "provide funds so that Inupiat Eskimos can make their own local decisions about how to put together the most hopeful possible future. Like other native cultures, the interaction with outside culture presents many challenges. The endowment gives resources for Inupiat Eskimos to link their 12,000-year-old culture with the 'modern' culture and their Lutheran Christian traditions of the past 108 years."
