Runners Worldwide To Fight Child Hunger

New York, NY Aug 11
- World Run Day 2006, the global running event, occurs November 5th this fall and plans to benefit the United Nations World Food Programme's initiative to End Child Hunger. Runners everywhere can register at www.active.com for $20 USD and join the international run day.

Participants celebrate the day by running with family, friends, or simply alone in a "virtual run" and receive the colorful event t-shirt. All proceeds go to ending child hunger.

Partnering with the UN's World Food Programme's Fight Hunger division, the event is intended to promote running on a global scale while also benefiting child hunger. It is estimated that every five seconds a child dies because she or he is hungry, and that for 19 cents you can feed a hungry child in school for a day. Over 200 event regsitration sites are located worldwide at www.active.com with more events scheduled to be added prior to event day.

For more information visite www.runday.com or contact event organizer Bill McDermott by e-mail at runday2006@yahoo.com or phone at 1 516 208-7030.
