run for someone else's life.

philadelphia lost 406 people--including ten children under the age of 5--to violent acts in 2006.

the situation is not improving. as of march 6--just 65 days into the year--71 people have been killed.

the philadelphia chapter of physicians for social responsibility is holding their first annual Legs Against Arms race on april 15 to promote reduction in gun violence by youth as part of a larger city-wide peace campaign.

if you will be in philly on april 15, or live close enough to swing by for the day, PLEASE considering joining in the effort. (there's a 5K run in addition to a 1 mile walk---so the "i can't run" excuse won't cut it!)

the race begins at 9a on sunday morning and---depending on how fast you move your legs--you could be done as early as 9:15.

please help us out!
