Mercy Project started the BCS Marathon in 2011, and the race is directed by Mercy Project founder/executive director Chris Field.
Mercy Project, based in Bryan/College Station, is working to eradicate child slavery in Ghana, Africa. To do this, they are implementing economic development projects in various villages and communities in Ghana where an estimated 7,000 children work as modern day slaves. These new economic opportunities give an alternative to the forced child labor present today. To learn more, visit www.mercyproject.net.
