Since our local media has seen fit to provide zero coverage for this event, I am going to take it upon myself to do so...
On Saturday, April 12, 2008, thanks to the donations of so many individuals, 125 local Greenville County children received brand new ASICS running shoes and other goodies. With their new blue shoes, the children took part in the Blue Shoe Mile, in conjunction with the track events that took place at Furman University yesterday.
The great thing about this event is that these local children are on the school lunch program as they cannot afford to buy their own lunches. It has been amazing for me personally, as well as for everyone involved in this whole event, to help our local children and to give them an opportunity to fall in love with running. I simply had to share this fantastic story of local people helping others within the community. That, folks, is that it is all about. Look for big things next year with this event!
