Puyallup, WA –\u00a0<\/em>Imagine No Malaria and the Greater Northwest Episcopal Area of the United Methodist Church are hosting a 5K events at each of their three Annual Conferences this year. These walk\/run events are family-friendly and open to the public.<\/p>\n

The tragic reality is that every sixty seconds, a child under the age of five dies from this disease. But the solutions are not expensive– just $10 can save a life. Our comprehensive program fights malaria through prevention, education, communications, and treatment. Through Imagine No Malaria, every registered participant of these 5K events will save at least one life!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s inspiring to see so many people come together to make a difference,\u201d said Bishop Grant Hagiya. \u201cAs United Methodists, we are committed to saving lives and ending this disease of poverty. I plan to run each of the 5Ks. Will you join me?\u201d<\/p>\n
