About the 2010 Stride For Sudan Walk-a-Thon

Upper Arlington High School Freshman House D presents the Strides for sudan 5K Walk-a-Thon for the Lost Boys of Sudan.

Jok and Bol are two Lost Boys from Sudan and recent graduates from OSU. These remarkable young men told their life story to an assembly of UAHS Freshman from House D and inspired a semester long service‐learning project. Walking 1,500 miles to escape civil war in Southern Sudan, Jok, Bol, and thousands of other boys fled their village leaving behind their families and overcoming dehydration, starvation, military attacks, wild animals and illness. They spent 14 years in refugee camps and were two of the lucky few to make their way to America. Their goal is to begin rebuilding Southern Sudan by raising funds to build a health clinic in their home village.
