Haven Project 5k

This will be the 10th Annual Good Hope Running & Walking Well 5K. In the past we have done this race in Beverly, Lynnfield and Peabody. Proceeds from past races have been used to dig wells in Kenya, Tanzania, Gahanna, Morocco, Zimbabwe, and Uganda. Proceeds from this race will be used to dig a well in Zimbabwe to provide clean drinkable water to thousands of people. The race will begin and end on Nahant Road in Nahant and take you on a scenic 5K walk or run through the town.

We hope you will join us for this year's Reading Lions Journey for Sight 5K!

The Reading Lions Club ("Club") and The Friends of Reading Recreation annually present a family-friendly 5K Road Race and 1 Mile Walk through central Reading. All proceeds from the race are donated to the Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund (MLERF), and other local sight-related charities supported by the Club. MLERF finances basic eye research at world renowned institutions such as the Mass. Eye and Ear right here in Boston. Over the years, the Club has donated over $350,000 from the proceeds of this race to MLERF, and we are excited to continue these efforts in conjunction with the Friends of Reading Recreation (FORR).

Come one come all and walk / run / ruck to raise money and awareness for PTSD. September is suicide awareness month. Veterans are at 72% higher risk of suicide than those who haven't served. We need to do our best to help all Veterans get the assistance they need!

Company 2 Heroes (C2H) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit service dog training program that works with Veterans to train their own dog or rescue. There is no charge for our program, it is our duty, honor and privilege to give back to those who have given so much.

Real heroes don't wear capes; they wear dog tags.
