Kings Highway in Cherry Hill from September 22-October 31. Nationally, this project has resulted in the closing of five abortion facilities, the decision of 32 workers at abortion facilities to quit and the saving of over 2,800 lives of unborn children. For information on how to take part, call Claire at 856-234-6198 or e-mail her. You can also visit the campaign's website. 6K Run, Sponsored by A Drink for Tomorrow, at Moorestown High School on September 26, 2010 Funds from the race will be used to provide clean, safe drinking water to impoverished communities throughout the world. Because of lack of such a resource, women and children in developing countries walk an average of 6k daily to get water. The effort needed to do this, and the illness prompted by contaminated water, which causes children to miss school, are important factors in the cycle of poverty. You can register for the race at this site for $20.00 through September 24 and $25.00 thereafter until race day. Registration, at the high school at 350 Bridgeboro Road, begins at 8:30 a.m. on 9/26. This is followed by a one mile walk/run run; the 6k race begins at 9:45 a.m. The event is rain or shine and the first 200 registrants will recive a t-shirt. The website for A Drink for Tomorrow is here.
