Oct 25 2008 - 9:00am
Location: 
The Minuteman Bike Trail

The Alewife Deanery and Jubilee Ministries invite you to a day of fun and fellowship for a good cause on Saturday, Oct. 25. Their annual fundraising walk/ride provides essential funds for HIV/AIDS care initiatives in Africa, supporting education, medical care, nutritious meals and small business skills to children and their caregivers in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.

Participants will walk/ride the Minuteman Trail, departing from Alewife Station (9 a.m.), Arlington Center (10 a.m.) and Bedford Train Depot (10 a.m.) and ending up at Church of Our Redeemer, 6 Meriam St. in Lexington Center at around noon. Food, music and a variety of activities will be waiting, and Bishop Tom Shaw will lead a simple outdoor worship service after lunch to remember those living with HIV and AIDS and those who offer them comfort and support.

Put a team together, gather sponsors and make a difference!
