Friends, Are you ready to run, walk (or just watch) the 2020 Virtual Gaza Run/Walk + Digital Festival? After the success of our first Pittsburgh “4K4GazaKids” last October we were hoping to expand this year’s walk to a regional event. Unfortunately, the Covid 19 virus has put an end to those plans, but at the same time it has opened up an exciting new opportunity for us. |
