In April Tengu Natural Foods and our Nakd bars helped Running In Tokyo organize  more than 600  people in a 10km road race which raised money and awareness for Second Harvest Japan.    With funds from the entrance fees Running In Tokyo was able to donate ¥110,600 to Second Harvest.   Nakd provided bars for all the runners.   Everyone had a good time doing good for their bodies by running  and doing good for Second Harvest by donating.  They are planning another big effort in the fall called Saiko Eco 10k Fall. The organizer is trying to conduct the races in an environmentally friendly way by using re-cycled materials, reducing garbage and promoting tumblers instead of disposable cups for re-hydration after the race.  We hope to help them again.
