Details from Tim VanOrden runningraw My mission is to inspire Americans to make better dietary choices. This journey has several inter-related components: Athletic accomplishments, a feature length documentary film, a national speaking tour, and a non-profit organization - The RunRaw Team. My athletic objectives include: 2007 - US Mountain Running Team (World Championships). 2008 - Mile World Record (First 40 year old to break 4 minutes on the track). 2008 - US Olympic Marathon Team (40 years of age). I started this journey with the intention of uniting people in a global effort to create a better world through sport. To prove that a raw, vegan diet yields the best athletic performance. My dream is to see athletes endorsing whole plant foods as their fuel of choice, and inspiring the children who idolize them to eat this way. My motivations: Childhood obesity and type II diabetes are epidemic in America. In 2006, 1.5 million Americans died from dietary related diseases at a cost of $800 billion. Agri-business and food processing account for 60% of US oil consumption. Conscious eating = reduced oil dependency and a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. To dispel the belief that this diet is for non-achievers and non-performers. These endeavors have become my full-time job. I have foregone an income for the past year as I have trained and worked on these projects. I cannot continue without your help. Thank you for being a crucial member of this community.
