Run4Unity 2012: "Together for a United World"
Teens for Unity of the Focolare Movement will join together with young people in all the different time zones of the world, to participate in Run4Unity 2012: "Together for a United World.  Locally, youth ages 9-17 from the Archdiocese of Chicago and the greater Chicago area, and from the surrounding states of Indiana, Wisconsin and Missouri, acting in solidarity with young people from all over the world will participate in their own unity run that will begin and end at Timothy Christian School, 188 West Butterfield Road in Elmhurst.  During this worldwide event, the teens will pass a virtual "baton" as it travels through the time zones with an invitation to face current challenges, becoming a strong force of unity within our pluralistic society. Our goals are summed up in activities where together the teens say “Yes” to Life and to Family, to Creation, to Solidarity, to Peace, to Responsibility, and to a Just Economy. There is a $10 fee ($12 at the door) and those participating can register at http://midwest.focolare.us
