Junel Malapad is the founder of an annual running fundraising event for Silo Mission on Boxing Day. Junel wanted to do something other than shopping on Boxing Day and decided to go for a run with friends. Since then, the event has grown to include 12 to 24 hours of running and raising funds and supplies for Silo Mission. Over the years, Junel has changed up the event to include different distances and locations, including a loop around the forks, and has raised over $95,000 to date. This year, Junel is organizing a 24 hour run, inviting people to join him at the forks and to donate via the Silo Mission website or to donate urgently needed supplies like bedsheets and blankets.
