October 2, 2026 Prairie Fire Foundation by Michael Stein started in 2024, originating with the idea of running a marathon and raising money for a well in San Lucas Mission in Guatemala in 2023. In 2025, Stein decided that he was still in good enough health and condition to run again and so decided to repeat the marathon in 2025 with a goal of raising $16,000 exclusively for water projects in Tanzania. Stein raised around $17,800. Come hear his story.
