We are a children's charity providing running shoes for children in need in Larimer County, Colorado through donations raised by our volunteer team of runners, direct donations through our website, and through shoe donation collections at community running events.

Nighttime is the right time
Turns out, if you want to get running shoes to kids in need, sometimes you have to go off schedule. Friday evening, instead of tucking my awesome boys into bed and reading some stories, it was time to deliver more shoes. A long ride out to the farthest reaches of Loveland left us disappointed as a little boy that had been waiting for his running shoes, had moved with no forwarding info. Numerous attempts via e-mail and phone to reach his mom were unanswered. So we have our first little one in danger of dropping out of our system. It's disheartening. I am sure there are more important priorities rather than notifying us of their move, which makes you wish you could do more. Let's hope tomorrow is a brighter day for all kids.
