Run 2012 - Together for a United World

On Saturday, May 12 2012 in Chicago, the Teens for Unity of the Focolare Movement, join together with young people from across the world to participate in Run4Unity 2012.

Across the globe the teens pass the "baton" as it travels through the timezones participate in activities in their communities to color with love every gray area of their cities, nursing homes, orphanages, areas where immigrants still need help to integrate into society, public parks to be cleaned up, camps or places where there are the marginalized. The message of the Run4Unity 2012 opens up an invitation to the participants to say “Yes” to their responsibility to face current challenges, becoming a strong and cohesive force within our pluralistic society.
