Hope Mission 2016 Kids in Action 5K Race

Some months ago, I was fortunate enough to be a part of a fundraiser for Home Mission with RCR, Lululemon YEG, and a whole mess of amazing people to raise money for shoes. Shoes that would end up on the feet of hundreds of kids so they could play, participate, and benefit from athletics.

Today, all of that effort came to fruition when we got to see the kids pickup their shoes, and promptly start to wear them out for the Hope Mission 2016 Kids in Action 5K Race. Once again, RCR and a large number of wonderful people from November Project and the like, ran with these kids…and I got to take their photo.

Fortunate doesn’t begin to describe the feeling I have to be a part of something like this. Enjoy the smiles!
