The 2010 Run/Walk to benefit Haiti will take place on Saturday, April 10 at 9:30 am. Get your running/walking shoes on and get ready for what promises to be the most exciting Run/Walk to date.
"I am always in awe and humbled by the numbers of people who turn out every year for the annual Run/Walk. People are really generous, and this year more than ever we are really counting on everyone's support to join Concern in helping the survivors of the earthquake begin to rebuild their lives" says Siobhan Walsh, Executive Director of Concern Worldwide US.
All funds raised on April 10 will go towards our emergency response and recovery efforts in Haiti.
The staff of Concern Worldwide US has witnessed an extraordinary outpouring of generosity since we first reached out to our supporters for help. But the road to recovery is a very long one and people will not recover in a matter of weeks or months; it will take years. Your participation in the Run will keep our team mobilized and enable us to provide long-term support to the people of Haiti.
Concern has been working in Haiti since 1994 and already had a strong team of over 100 on the ground when the earthquake struck. We were able to launch an emergency response in Port-au-Prince that provided critical food, water and medical supplies within the first 48 hours in the immediate aftermath of the quake. For more information about Concern's response to the earthquake, including video blogs from our staff on the ground, click here.
YOU CAN HELP
This year, we hope to raise $125,000 but cannot do this without your help.
You can volunteer to help organize the event, or you can raise funds by becoming a team captain and recruiting your friends, family or co-workers to run or walk with you.
Registration is open, so why not join us today!!
