Gawad Kalinga Walk

From the Gawad Kalinga Boston Walk website (http://www.massgkwalk.eventbrite.com):

On Saturday, September 6th, make a difference with every step.

Gawad Kalinga (GK) Walk is our way of expanding the USA GK Hero’s Run which has been very successful in the last 3 years in gathering and generating many advocates and partners for GK. The heroic efforts of the GK marathoners have shown that the distance does not stop us from giving care. As a result of the GK Hero’s Run efforts since 2005, more than 9 GK villages have risen. Many other USA villages are being helped by the marathoners.

This event will take place simultaneously in 7 cities in Canada (Calgary, Ottawa, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton), and hopefully in over 40 cities in the USA.

The Massachusetts GK 5K (3.1m) walk will take place along the scenic Memorial Drive, Cambridge and Storrow Drive, Boston on September 6th, Saturday. Assembly time is 8:30 a.m.

The goal, through this event is to acquire enough money to build a house the poor in the Philippines. Through the selfless efforts of ANCOP and Gawad Kalinga the people of the Philippines now have hope that one day they will rise above the status of a third world country.

Join us as participants across the US and Canada raise awareness for the Philippines' poorest of the poor in a 5K walk.

Plus a chance to win 2 Red Sox tickets, dinner for two, beauty products, and more.
