May 7th, 2016 - 3rd Annual Running & Walking Well 5K

Last December Calvary Christian Church in Lynnfield, MA was able to dig another well in Africa with the proceeds of their 2nd Annual Running & Walking Well 5K which took place last year in May at Lynch Park in Beverly. The well was dug in Laela, a small town in South West Tanzania. The well will provide drinkable water to over 3,500 villagers and a new secondary school. Plans are under way for their 3rd Annual Running & Walking Well 5K which will take place on Saturday, May 7th at Lynch Park in Beverly. Last year they had close to 300 runners and walkers. This year they hope to have 400 participants. As well as the race there is a Kids Dash, silent auction, music, food, face painting, balloons and games for the kids. This year the celebration will continue into the afternoon with a BBQ and more games for kids and adults.

With the proceeds from this year’s race Calvary hopes to dig two wells in Ghana. If you would like to be part of this effort, please go to their website to see how you can support their cause and help bring drinkable water to people in Africa. They are looking for corporate sponsors, silent auction items, volunteers, donations, volunteers and of course runners and walkers. Everything including registering for the race can be done online: http://www.runningwalkingwell.org
