You will be able to do BOTH...just not setting up. **This event is for RUNNING or WALKING. Sign up for the other one if you're planning to volunteer. Come run or walk with us April 9th at Wegerzyns Garden Center to raise awareness of the war and humanitarian crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Run or walk for your health and at the same time help bring health and hope to victims of crisis in the Congo! Why do this event? To help the women being raped and tortured and the children that are witnessing this and being left behind. This event can help you promote your own health as well as educate, enlighten, and inspire you! The situation in the Congo has effects on us all; learn how we can be contributing to this and how we can stop it!
