After learning about the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo and realizing how little others knew about it, Lisa Shannon had to take action. Lisa teamed up with Women for Women International and created Run for Congo Women, a simple and concrete way citizens around the world can raise awareness and funds for women living in war-torn Congo. Last year, she did a lone, thirty mile run, raising $28,000; this year she has organized runs across the world raising thousands of dollars for women in the Congo.
