Lopez Lomong’s Story
In
Running the Rift
, Jean Patrick wants to be an Olympic
athlete but has to confront the genocide ripping apart
his world. Our own Lake Oswego neighbor will share
his miraculous story as a “Lost Boy of the Sudan” who
overcame extraordinary odds and adversity to become a
proud American citizen and flag-bearer for the U.S. team
in the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Olympics. Lopez
was a happy six-year-old villager in the Sudan when he was
kidnapped by rebel soldiers seeking young mercenaries. He
watched other children die around him from starvation but
escaped in the night, running for three days into Kenya where
he spent the next 10 years in a refugee camp before being
adopted by his American family. Every day was a struggle for
survival, and yet, he found joy in running a daily 18-mile lap
around his camp. He hasn’t stopped running since. Prepare
to hear an inspirational story that continues today with his
participation in the London Olympic Games and his efforts to
bring help to the children of South Sudan.
