Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland is pleased to present founder of Run for Congo Women Lisa Shannon to discuss and sign her new book, A Thousand Sisters: My Journey Into the Worst Place on Earth to Be a Woman, on Sunday, April 25 at 3pm. Run for Congo Women is a global effort to raise awareness and support the women of the Democratic Republic of Congo. After learning about the Congo on Oprah, Lisa did a solo 30 mile run on Portland, Oregon's Wildwood Trail to raise money for Women for Women International's work in Congo. On her first lone run, she raised more than $28,000. As women around the world learned of Lisa's efforts, the run quickly blossomed into an international movement. It continues to grow through Women for Women International. Visit Raise Hope for Congo for further information.
