This is the Franciscan Community Development Center of Fairview that we are dedicating this year’s 9/11 Remembrance Run to. Sister Anna Marie, Sister Gloria and co-founder Sue Colacurio, as well as volunteers, need all the help they can get right now. They serve 7500 families each month and are now being forced to move because St. John’s did not renew their lease. They purchased new space but need a lot of help. Please donate today to www.runforhopefoundation.org. Thanks and God bless.
