Ten years ago, a small group of runners on the North Shore of Massachusetts decided to do something about the water crisis in Africa. They were not a large organization. They did not have a massive budget or a national platform. What they had was a conviction — that if they laced up their shoes and ran, they could change something real for someone far away.

When we gather at Nahant Beach on June 27th for the 10th Annual Running and Walking Well 5K, there will be live music, free food, and a lot of laughter. It is going to be a beautiful morning of community and fun on the North Shore.
