Cowboy 200 - Let's Finish Matagorda Village
In Matagorda Village, Honduras, 38 families have been waiting on a promise. Clean water. Enough food. A home the flood water can't reach. They live beside a sewage treatment plant, and when it rains, contaminated water rises into the rooms where their children sleep. They've been waiting for someone to believe in them.Underdogs recognize underdogs.In 2007, Stuart Lynn was 400 pounds, broke, and barely keeping the lights on for his wife and eight children. Today he's lost 180 pounds, finished an Ironman, and runs three companies. A few weeks ago, he made it to mile 51 of the Yeti 100 and had to stop. On September 25, he's going back for 200 miles at the Cowboy 200 in Nebraska, with one goal: turn 200 miles into $200,000 to put the families of Matagorda Village into safe homes.The village is already more than half built. Six homes are finished, with families living in them today. But 21 children are still waiting. Kids like Casey, 11. Marcelo, 13. Edgar, 11. The rainiest months of the year are ahead, and until every family is in their new home, every storm puts their health and safety at risk.Every gift builds a piece of a real home. $25 lays a brick. $100 raises a wall. $1,000 hangs a door. $2,500 builds a room. $10,000 builds an entire home.Stuart will run the miles. Together, we'll build the homes.I Believe in You.
