Join me in supporting Mile in My Shoes!
This year, I’m excited to walk the Mile in My Shoes' (MiMS) "Downtown Run Around" 5K race on June 7. Between now and then, I’ll be raising money as a FundRacer to support Mile in My Shoes programming, and I need your help! FundRacers have a collective goal of raising $25k to bring the transformative power of running to even more people experiencing homelessness, in recovery and exiting incarceration.
I’m excited to raise critical support for MiMS as we train and build momentum toward our biggest annual event! Gifts of all sizes go directly toward providing running gear, race entries, and community-building events for our team members.

More about Mile in My Shoes
MiMS brings together residents of the Twin Cities with diverse backgrounds through the power of running. Based in homeless shelters, addiction recovery programs and re-entry centers for people exiting incarceration, Mile in My Shoes views running as a tool for both personal and collective transformation. By centering people and spaces historically excluded by the running community, our teams use movement as a catalyst for social justice. By bringing together people from diverse backgrounds, our Resident Members and Run Mentors not only find common ground, but learn from and reach out to one another for support. As we transform ourselves, we transform one another, and we transform our communities.
Our Mission: We run together to transform ourselves, one another, and our community.
Our Vision: Mile in My Shoes uses the power of running to bring together people from diverse backgrounds to build connections, boost wellness, spark social change, and center people traditionally excluded from running spaces.
Thank you for supporting me and Mile in My Shoes! Interested in hearing more stories of our Members and Mentors? Read about Love + Emily, Jason + Ben and Niko + Anna.
