Support Lowell in the 2025 Osaka Marathon as he runs for HOPE
HOPE Runner: Lowell Sheppard
Hi everyone,
I'm gearing up to tackle the Osaka Marathon again in 2025!
Last year, I could not finish within the time limits, and at Kilometer 22, I was bumped off the course as they reopened the road. Still, I completed the distance - just outside the official path!
With a longer training window this year, I aim to cross the finish line properly.
More important, though, is the incredible opportunity this marathon presents. Our team of 23 runners (double the number from last year) will raise crucial funds for clean water projects in rural and remote areas of Cambodia, providing families with a much-needed "leg up."
Each runner is required to raise a minimum of ¥70,000 for HOPE International Development Agency. If you'd like to sponsor me, you can do so via the form on this page. Your donation will directly support HOPE's impactful work.
Please also take a moment to check out and support the other runners on our team. Every contribution - every ¥1,000 or $10 - helps motivate us and furthers the cause.
Thank you so much for your support!
