Help for Haiti purpose for 5K run/walk

The main purpose behind another run is to help the poor Caribbean country of Haiti.  Tomorrow morning’s 5K run/walk at Duke’s Bad Creek facility is a Walhalla Rotary Club event to benefit its “Hope for Haiti” project.  The Rotarians are inspired to raise money because club member and now American citizen Jordanie Mertl is a Haitiian who wants to help her homeland.  But, for the runners and walkers, they get to traverse an area in far northern Oconee where it’s not unusual to spot deer, turkey, fox and, occasionally, a bear.
