If you live in the Richmond (VA) area, you may be interested in participating in the Run for Darfur (to benefit Save Darfur).
Richmond’s Run for Darfur is a 5k race on Memorial Day, May 28th, 2007. There will also be a 1k children’s race at 9am. The Jewish Community Center will open its facilities to the public and there will be a movie screening and other indoor activities. This event is being planned by Michael Wilson and Peyton Thompson, both juniors in college who have a great interest in bringing an end to the genocide in Darfur. They are working alongside the Richmond Roadrunner Association. All the proceeds from this run will go directly to Save Darfur. Please register online at www.runriderace.com. We look forward to seeing you on race day!
You can find more information and sign up to participate at Save Darfur.
I look forward to meeting new people on the 28th. It’s about time that the US took a stand against the Genocide in Darfur.
