Which charity does the Awesome '80s Run support and why?
We support youth homeless shelters in each city that we go into. My family struggled during my teenage years, and we were supported by these sorts of organizations. This event allows me to raise awareness and donations for organizations that are like the ones that helped me and my family through our most difficult time.
