On Saturday, individuals will have the opportunity to participate in a benefit fun run at the Missionary Expo to help missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints world-wide.

Missionary Mommas, LDS Missionary Expo and Missionary Strong Foundation organized the event, ‘Lengthen Your Stride,’ and all proceeds will go to help young men and women who cannot financially afford serving a mission. The fun run will include a 5K, 3K and 1K race in Orem, Utah.

The event will feature special VIP guests, including Kendal Levine, a young sister who was critically injured while serving her mission in Australia. The two-day expo, Friday, April 24 and Saturday, April 25, will also include various speakers and presentations. Attending the Missionary Expo is free, except for a small fee for those who would like to participate in the fun run.

Those interested can sign up for the run at eventbrite.com or on the Missionary Expo website.
