St. Peter's, Morristown youth raise funds for mission trip in Father's Day 'Cicada Run'

[Morristown Green] In a Father’s Day outing that could have been dubbed the Cicada Run, members of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and the wider community participated in a walk and “fun run” at Lewis Morris Park on June 16 to raise funds for the church’s youth group summer mission trip to Topsail, N.C. A portion of the funds also will benefit Abdulai’s Project, which builds homes in remote areas of Sierra Leone.

Morristown Mayor Tim Dougherty blew the whistle to launch a group of young, one-milers, then navigated the route with his wife, Mary, and a crew of other walkers.
