Some of you may know I try to be an advocate for our homeless neighbors. For those in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, here’s a link to an organization who takes your old running shoes and provides them for homeless people to wear — those shoes may not be good for running any more, but they’re still usually good for walking. Obviously you need to clean ‘em up a bit before giving them away, and the website tells you what needs to be done — not much at all, really.
If you don’t live in the DFW area, I encourage you to check out similar programs where you live and run.
