The "Running with Benny" team arrived in Gallup this evening where they were greeted by a very excited crowd of supporters for a rally complete with local talent performances, great food and a full color guard presentation by the 911 Young Warriors.
The event was MC'd by Cheryl Walker, whose sister Sherelle and 6-year-old daughter Jordyn (pictured with Benny below) performed a heartening sign-language dance.
Local volunteers served up a hearty feast for the runners, after which Benny Shendo, Jr. shared a few remarks of thanks and spoke on one of the themes of his campaign: the importance of coming together to heal our divided nation so that we can move forward and truly address the many challenges we are now facing.
