Women Plan Massive Run From NY To D.C. To Benefit Planned Parenthood

[sheshe2]

At 6 p.m. on Wednesday, January 18, Alison Mariella Désir, 31, will lace up her running shoes, head to 145th Street and Lenox Avenue in Harlem, New York, and embark on a 240-mile relay run to Washington D.C.


Désir will be joined by three other women who will wrap up their run ― the equivalent of more than nine marathons ― on Saturday, January 21, just in time to join the Women’s March On Washington.

And as of Tuesday, they were just $2,000 shy of that goal.
