We’ve found charity running to be a tangible, effective way for our group to support small business entrepreneurs in countries served by Opportunity International. Coordinators of the Chicago Half Marathon have made this easy for groups such as ours. Run the Chicago Half Marathon/5K with YAO on Sept. 11, 2011.
