GOOD NEWS! UPDATE ON AGNES KIPLAGAT

Glad we could help.

we can hope for a happy ending...this is good news.

write your nice thoughts here to the Kiplagat family...

more important than tightass websites and such.

That's great news... one thing to feel good about.

i got a letter in reply from richard after my donation, which wasn't all that much. He's obviously very grateful for the help we gave, and seems to be a true class act. I hope Agnes gets better.

I contributed a few prayers. I'm glad she's okay.

great news, now we can help the other millions of Africans who are going to die without any help, not everyone of them has an NCAA star as brother, probably not a single person who is starving under the african sun will post on

www.letsrun.com

but aren't we are all runners?

I'm very happy for Agnes Kiplagat, and it's great that the posters here probably saved her life but it's always funny how supportive people can get when there's a relation and not just a number like "10000 Tanzanians" died last year of hunger.It's another topic but i always shake my head about such things, the same about 9/11.

I mean 346 people died this days and I'm very sorry for them and their relatives,it's really a tragedy but you know you can find a story about every of the 346 victims in the newspaper, how many innocent Iraqis died during the war?

5000!!!!Why don't we get stories to read about them or dramatic documentations on TV?

Cause they didn't died that spectacular?

Cause they didn't work in the Twin Towers?

Most of them hadn't a job, many of them even not enough to eat.I hope this doesn't get misinterpretated, good luck to Agnes Kiplagat and her familiy, my respect to all the guys who helped her but you know..forget the numbers and give them a face.

I believe Bono was trying to show that we can always do more, as individuals - to let a good thing keep rolling.

I don't think it deserved your vulgar response especially on this thread.

The final question you proposed is something we can all ask ourselves.

Listen, man, Letsrun posters helped to save someone's life.

We can't save everybody. I would think that someone with any sense in their head would realize this.

As for the war in Iraq, if you had any compassion for the Iraqi's you would have been campaigning for the removal of Saddam for years and years. 5,000 people is NOTHING compared to what he was doing over there.

You people astound me. We helped to save someone's life, and you get on here and whine about people not doing enough. Get the f*** off Letsrun and donate all your money to the Africans if you want, but don't try to guilt trip generous and caring people for not being generous and caring enough.

What the f*** have YOU done for anybody, anyway?
