The Harvest Moon Run

The Harvest Moon Run is an annual race that is run in Moon Township, PA. All of the race benefits go toward the people of Southern Sudan, especially the Dinka Tribe, through two organizations. The first organization is Christian Solidarity International, which helps free slaves in countries like Sudan. The second organization is Good Shepherd Leadership Training Center, which I mentioned in my last blog entry.

The race is a 5K run/wallk and a 10 mile run. Last year was the first year that the race took place and it had close to 350 people sign up to run in it. I, Bethany Storm, was the first coordinator of the Harvest Moon Run. I coordinated the race as my senior project. God had put a passion on my heart for the people of Southern Sudan and those being held captive in slavery. The race was a perfect opportunity for me to raise awareness about the plight of the Sudanese people.

This will be the second year that the Harvest Moon Run will be taking place and it is being run by another senior from Moon Area High School, Will Aldridge. The race is a perfect opportunity for people to help the people of Southern Sudan without actually getting on a plane and flying over there to see them.

If you are interested in running in the race or giving a donation you can visit the Harvest Moon Run website. Every little bit helps. Your donation may help give someone back their freedom or an education.
