Written by: Rowan Vansleve For the past seven years, I have served as the CFO & President of Hope the Mission. On a number of occasions, we have faced a gap. A gap between the amount of money we have and what is needed for our next project. It is in these moments where I discovered that if you run, people will give. When we faced a $40,000 gap to open a transitional age youth shelter, we ran a marathon (26 miles) to close that gap.
