Walking for a Cause: New Jersey Walk-a-Thon Nets $20,000 E-mail

Five years ago the 1st annual IMHO Convention was held in New Jersey, just months after our organization was born and the first primary care center was established in Sri Lanka. Now we find ourselves growing as we had always hoped, enabling us to do so much to benefit those in need of health and medical care in Sri Lanka and around the world. On Saturday, May 2, 2009 we were able to mark this special 5-year anniversary with the 2009 IMHO Walk-a-Thon in South Brunswick, New Jersey. The event was a very peaceful, enjoyable and rewarding experience for all who attended. All attendees received IMHO t-shirts and home-cooked food, and were able to participate in an auction. There was even a special police patrol for the group!

Attendees started to arrive at the Woodlot Park in South Brunswick around 9:00 am, and the walkathon started around 10.30am. The walk lasted for about an hour with everyone proudly wearing their IMHO t-shirts and carrying IMHO flags. The experience was enriching both mentally and physically. In total, the organizers collected $20,000 for primary care and mobile clinic services in Jaffna. Special thanks to Siva for so meticulously planning this fantastic event and to all who participated and made donations!
