Description

 

After a devastating category 5 hurricane in Puerto Rico  and  a 7.1 magnitude earthquake in México

Puerto Rico has been in the verge of collapse: drenched with high-level-floodings, crippled communications, decimated buildings, damaged dams, etc are putting residents at risk even weeks after the hurricane while Mexico is facing a slow recovery after the collapse of more than 40 building and irreversible damage to its infrastructure.

"The island faces a humanitarian crisis while Mexico faces a slow recovery"

It takes just few seconds after browsing the news to find that the help has been slow to come to the more needed communities and to realice that recovery is going to be slow.

"Any effort is never too small and can help families in Puerto Rico and Mexico get back on their feet"

This Fund Run is to provide the basic essentials to bring relief to families in Puerto Rico and Mexico, bringing the help directly to the people that need it the most.  A coalition of churches and organizations are part of this common effort.

Walkers & strollers are welcome.

Race will begin at 8:30 a.m. sharp.

Packet Pickup will also be on race day from 7:15 a.m. until 8:00 a.m.
