(LifeSiteNews) — Pro-lifers will span the continental U.S. in a massive cross-shaped relay this fall as part of an apostolate to inspire pregnant mothers to choose life for their unborn children.
Runners and walkers will kick off from the east and west coasts as well as North Dakota and Texas in September, triggering a relay of 5K legs carefully timed to converge on Kansas City in Roe Park on October 19. Meanwhile, other pro-lifers will run, walk, or simply wear their witness – a LIFE Runners t-shirt that reminds onlookers to “REMEMBER the Unborn” – in their own neighborhoods, on their own time, from September 6 to October 19.
The power of the A-Cross America Relay is twofold: LIFE Runners pray for the unborn and their mothers, including in front of abortion mills, and the witness of their message aims to stir abortion-minded mothers to a change of heart for their children.
