Church-to-Church 5k Run/Walk

This Saturday evening the Knights of Columbus will host a 5K Walk/Run to help raise money for the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center’s “March for Life” program. The program will send 85-100 KU students to Washington D.C. January 19 through 20 for a march protesting the Roe vs. Wade decision, which legalized abortion in the U.S.

Marissa DeGennaro, Overland Park senior and one of five March for Life student leaders, said, “The Knights of Columbus organize the run/walk to reduce the cost for the Washington trip, so students only pay $150, instead of about double that.”

DeGennaro said applications are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Registration for the 5k run/walk costs $15-20 and extra donations are accepted.

“It’s a run for people who are pro-life,” DeGennaro said. “We’re not trying to push our ideas on anybody, but we do want to raise awareness for it.”

The run will begin at 6 p.m. on Saturday at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, 1631 Crescent Road.
