Runners Attack Hunger In N ational Marathon Hunger can strike anytime, anytime, in any place, young or old, rich or poor. We are all susceptible to its destructiveness. destructiveness. In an effort to end starvation, starvation, a World Concern project project called "Run for Hunger" was developed as a way for youth groups and individuals to become involved involved in the war against hunger. With a vision to involve more Canadians in this great task, "Run for Hunger/ Race for Life" began in June, 1986. in St. John's Newfoundland. Since then, the 12 main participants have been and will be proceeding proceeding west through central central Canada and the Prairies along the Trans Canada Highway to British Columbia. The run will end August 30,1986 at the Pavil ion of Promise at EX^O '86 and a victory celebration is planned for that da$tot the Kodak Pacific Bowl in the EXPO site in Vancouver B.C. Of course the cross-country cross-country run is not restricted to the main track relay team. It will involve as many as 100 teams who will run from their community the main track in order to meet up with the main track team wherever possible. These various team's will include youth groups, boys and girls clubs, churches, businesses, schools, universities universities and colleges. Through this run* it is hoped that the message of "faith, hope, and charity" will be brought forward to the world througfc the people of Canada. This message message is not only proclaimed through the run but through the Concern Concerts and rallies that will happen along the route. It is an opportunity opportunity for outreach through individuals and through the church. The purpose of the run is two-fold. First, to help the millions of needy in Third World countries where painful poverty and hunger are killing young and old in unprecedented numbers. Secondly, concern has also - been expressed by. extending extending a helping hand to particularly particularly needy people in Canada through assisting Food Banks and social concern concern agencies serving the poorest of the poor. These are both part of the much needed solution to end poverty -- and the reason why a dozen runners will be travelling across our country this season.
