To Do: MANNA Fun Run Series

Help provide good eats for those with life-threatening diseases.

Warm home-made soup always helps you feel better when you’re down with a cold, right? So, imagine the wonders a nice nutritious meal could provide for those with life-threatening diseases.

The Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutritional Alliance (MANNA) is a local nonprofit organization that helps make that happen. They provide nutritious (and yummy) meals to those with illnesses like cancer, HIV and diabetes. As proof of their success, MANNA just celebrating their 10-millionth meal served!

In order to continue raising funds for MANNA, a series of fun runs (three miles) will be held in Center City, Bryn Mawr and Haddonfield, New Jersey this summer. For $25, runners recieve a t-shirt and post run snack, while all proceeds go to MANNA. Register here.

$25, June 27, July 25, and Aug. 15 at 6 p.m, at Bryn Mawr Running Company (828 W Lancaster Ave, Bryn Mawr), MANNA (2323 Ranstead Street, Philadelphia) and Haddonfield Running Company (121 Kings Highway East, Haddonfield).
