Join Dr. David Almeida in support of the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania!
Back in May 2020, David ran 50 miles and his event raised almost $10,000 for Second Harvest. This year, let's try to surpass $10,000 in donations as he will commit to running 100 miles on Saturday, April 16th.

A word from David-
At last census, the food insecurity rate in Erie County was 17.85% with over 10,500 individuals suffering from food shortages. I will run 50 feet for each of those 10,500 people, arriving at close to 100 miles. I’m hoping you will join me during this time of crisis to help those hungry and unsure of how they can provide for themselves and their loves ones - no amount is too small or insignificant!
The Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania is the largest nonprofit food distribution organization in northwest Pennsylvania and the only food bank in the region. Second Harvest distributes millions of pounds of grocery products each year to hundreds of nonprofit member agencies that directly serve people facing hard times in 11 counties.

As I try to cover 100 miles on April 16, I realize this is a small distance compared to all those at Second Harvest who tirelessly go the extra mile every day to help those in need.
