| The fear and desperation of homelessness. The sheer exhilaration and sense of accomplishment after crossing the finish line of a goal you never dreamed possible.
This transition from one extreme to another is happening right now as some of Orange County’s neediest are actively stepping out from the shadows of homelessness and into a running program that is transforming the trajectory of their lives one mile at a time.
Up & Running Again, a non-profit organization, was formed to assist homeless individuals and at-risk youth improve their lives by training for, and completing, a half-marathon.
We have 50 individuals that are training to run the Long Beach half marathon. We need your assistance to help provide them with running shoes and entry fees. To learn more about us go to www.upandrunningagain.org or www.facebook.com/upandrunningagain. |
