The run is always a great way

to get people involved with Concern.
Since we have been involved all our
friends have participated by either running,
walking, or being great support at the finish
line. Everybody loves the way Concern makes
it fun to support such a tremendously impactful
cause. This year we are hoping to build on
prior years and help Concern set a new fundraising record.
