A MESSAGE FROM Darcy Runs for Healing Meals
As many of you know, I lost both my parents to long, painful, and brave battles with cancer. Healing Meals Community Project supports patients and their families facing a health crisis such as cancer and the work they are doing in our community changes lives. As I have for the past several years, this year I’ll be running the charity 5k in my parents' honor to raise money for Healing Meals and hope you'll support me on this journey.
Healing Meals Community Project has a dual mission to provide healthy, organic meals to people in a health crisis, while fostering compassion and empowering youth and adult volunteers in our communities.
They are the only non-profit in Connecticut that experientially teaches volunteers about nutrient-rich foods from start-to-finish while helping those in a health crisis heal. Volunteers have the opportunity to plant and harvest produce from our organic garden, prep food, cook, package and deliver healing meals to those in need. The experience is transformational for all.
The Eversource Hartford Marathon is their largest fundraiser of the year and we would love to have you join our team as a runner or fundraiser. Their goal is to raise $125k this year, which will allow them to serve another 8,000 meals, increase the number of youth they empower and expand their education program to help our community take control of their health to prevent disease.
Please help more families receive the love and nutrition Healing Meals can provide.
“There are no words worthy of expressing the support I feel by your delicious and nutritious meals. We have been enjoying each dish made and truly appreciate the kindness shown by such help. Your love is felt in each bite taken. I am fighting hard to win this battle with cancer and am eager to one day share good results from all the hard work. Much love to you all.” ~Current Healing Meals Client
