    We did it! Marathon run surpasses $100K for students

    Last modified on April 29, 2026

    Christel House President and CEO David Harris crossed the finish line at the London Marathon, his first ever, while exceeding an ambitious $100,000 fundraising goal in support of Christel House students around the world. What began as a personal challenge became a show of support, with donors, colleagues, and students rallying behind him throughout his training journey. “Your generosity kept me training and carried me through the toughest miles,” David shared. “It meant more than you know—especially hearing from Christel House students around the world in the days leading up to the race.”

    We’re continuing to accept donations, so there’s still time to make a gift to support our students!
