Over 500,000 people died in the US alone last year from Covid. These 3 kids are running a 5K a day for 30 days raising funds to help give free weekly groceries to people that lost family, breadwinners, jobs and worse due to Covid. These high school kids are L'Mio Edwards (age 15), Josiah Chin (age 17) and Zion Edwards (age 14).

L'Mio Edwards created 5KaDayFood last year and ran by herself in the middle of the pandemic to raise funds for charity. Last year, thanks to community support, 5KaDay4Food raised over $10,000 to help thousands of families be able to eat. This year L'Mio has 2 people running by her side and they still need your help more than ever.

It's hard to keep up with 14 year-old L’Mio Edwards. She’s a straight A student, nationally-ranked track star, and ran 5K for 30 straight days to raise more than $10,000 for families hit hard by COVID-19. 🙌

Please join me in congratulating L’Mio and her father, Deon, on this amazing feat. Deon not only drove by L’Mio’s side during every run to ensure her safety, but also inspired her to help New Earth - the charity she’s running for. We appreciate you, Edwards family!

One last thing: I’m thrilled to share that L’Mio graduated from Chaparral Middle School and is currently at Diamond Bar High School - both schools I attended!

We need your support. The video of Rep. Gil Cisneros recognizing Diamond Bar High School student L’Mio Edwards on the House Floor standing before Congress for her humanitarian service is a Finalist for “Best Video” among the Democratic Caucus. It would be great for her to win.

But for us to win, we need as many likes as we can get on Leader Hoyer’s Facebook post within the next 24 hours. We’re asking you to click “Like” directly on the video itself and share it.

Regardless of party politics, we’re asking you to support an incoming high school freshman for running a 5K a day for 30 days to help give free weekly groceries to people hurt by Covid-19. These groceries did not come with any political or religious propaganda in the bag. There were no photo-ops. A lot of the logistics were handled by young people age 13 to 25 to pack and deliver these groceries to doorsteps or be ready for pick up. Even further, so many people helped L’Mio raise over $10,000 which went directly to the charity to help the less fortunate. Let’s help her win “Best Video” for all that work. It represents all of us.

Please visit this link and directly “Like” the posting. Again, this is not about politics. Please keep all politics out of this. Support love not hate - that’s what these kids are out here doing and that’s what all of us adults need to understand. Thank you for your patience and support. Let’s help her win the contest for “Best Video”. Here’s the link

Rep. Gil Cisneros Majority Leader Steny Hoyer

Rep. Gil Cisneros on Twitter “Today, I was honored to recognize resident L’Mio Edwards. Using her gift as a talented runner, she committed to running a 5K a day—for 30 consecutive days—in order to raise money for local food banks and help families in need. Our community is so proud of her! https://t.co...

Annette gave me permission to repost this message from her as proof of how far reaching the help goes. Annette was in the hospital on a respirator with full on Covid for 11 days. When she got home the entire family is on quarantine. When we got the message the charity already had made its deliveries for the day and people picked up their groceries. The charity gathered what they could on emergency notice and we were able to bring her 4 boxes and 2 bags of groceries. It was in boxes but we got it there. Annette is now on an organized list to receive FREE fresh groceries every week. Gallon of milk, a dozen eggs, fresh fruit, fresh chicken legs and thighs. loaves of bread and we can go on with enough to feed a family of 4 to 5 people for a week. When you donate thru 5KaDay4Food this is where your money is going. When you run or walk a 5K at your own pace this is who you're helping. Thank you Annette for letting me repost this message. Here is the link to the Challenge Run / Walk for this Saturday July 18th

Feeling honored & thankful. Received a certificate from Congress. Never expected any of this. This is amazing! All I'm asking is for more people to do the 5KaDay4Food Challenge because it funds the charity New Earth which gives Free Weekly Groceries to those affected by Covid-19, including loss of job or having to take care of family members. My running a 5K a day for 30 days to get the program started is a simple way of saying let's help each other. Thank you Congressman Gil Cisneros for all your support to make sure as many people as possible can continue receiving Free Groceries during this worldwide pandemic. Follow my story www.GoFundme.com/f/5KaDay4Food
