original description

In 2005, Lisa Shannon saw a story on the Oprah Winfrey show about women in the eastern Congo and Women for Women International's unique program to help women survivors of war there. After learning of the 3,300,000 people who have died and the staggering number of human rights violations -- torture, mutilation and sexual violence that has occurred against tens of thousands of women and children, Lisa Shannon set out on her own mission to help women of the Congo. The Run for Congo Women is a true grassroots effort to raise money for Women for Women International's Congo program that has caught on across the nation. Learn more at www.runforcongowomen.org
