Fundraiser to help poor people will finish in the city
“A big Wink goes from Eye on Jacksonville to the Freed to Run event finishing at the courthouse in downtown Jacksonville Saturday, ending a six-day effort to raise money that will help provide legal services to the poor.
This fundraiser will produce $2.25 million for Jacksonville Area Legal Aid’s Northeast Florida Medical Legal Partnership.
Runners began the multi-marathon event Monday in Tallahassee. Fourteen relay teams of runners have been involved, completing marathon runs each day. A 5-kilometer run in Jacksonville that ends at the courthouse will be the last leg.”
