The Run for Congo Women is coming to Portland! Through this amazing run, you will be able to give hope and support to women of the Congo whose lives have been torn apart by the constant brutality of war. Today in the Democratic Republic of Congo, people are still struggling after one of the deadliest wars in all history. Millions have died and new conflicts continue to threaten peace every day. For women in Congo, brutal gang rape and torture are a daily reality. 60-80% of women are now single heads of their homes due to the conflict.

The 3/9 Mile Run for Congo Women in Portland will be taking place at Lower Macleay Park on September 14th. Register today for $20 and receive a free t-shirt on the day of the run! Visit www.runforcongowomen.org/portland to register or to get more information.
