Hi Joey,

I hope this email finds you well.  A Gloucester friend on mine recently introduced me to Good Morning Gloucester and suggested I email you.

I volunteer for Habitat for Humanity of the North Shore. We mergered with the Cape Ann chapter last year and service the Northshore from Rockport to Saugus.  We are hosting our 2nd Annual Hoof it Habitat 5K run, 1 mile walk along the beautiful back-shore of Gloucester (Atlantic Road)on Septemeber 30th.

I would appreciate it if you can help me spread the word on GMG if possible.

Below is information about the race, current projects and attached, please see the race brochure.
