As an outgrowth of our commitment to eliminate the epidemic of youth violence in Philadelphia, Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) is hosting Legs Against Arms, a 5K Race/Walk, at La Salle University on April 26, 2009.  We will strengthen our legs while opposing illegal handguns in Philadelphia.  Individuals, families and teams are encouraged to participate as activists and advocates for a future filled with hope, not harm.  Trish McDermott was murdered at 9th and Chestnut Streets in 2005 and her family wanted a way to celebrate her life rather than her traumatic death. At LAA II in 2008, Team Trish was formed in her memory.  PSR and Team Trish invite you to continue this tradition and get a team together to honor and celebrate the life of a loved on lost to violence.  Any proceeds support PSR’s ongoing violence prevention initiatives.  To read more about Team Trish’s story from her daughter Angela Amarhanov, CLICK HERE.
