Matt’s MiMS to the Max!

For 5 years, I've been lucky to serve on the Mile in My Shoes (MiMS) board of directors. As a volunteer, a runner, and now a board member, I have seen the impact of Mile in My Shoes as a way to break generational cycles and disrupt inequitable systems by building community and understanding through running. 

As our runners often say, every mile changes you. (To see what they mean, check out our Member Stories, including Matt's, here.)

When you donate today, your gift keeps our seven current teams running, linking volunteers with people experiencing homelessness, recovering from substance use, reentering the community after incarceration, and—new this year—navigating life after military service. What's more, thanks to generous matching donors, your donation instantly doubles. Like another perk? When you donate $50, you'll get our MiMS buff—and we’ll donate one to a Member to help them keep running through the winter season. When you donate $100, you’ll score our brand-new MiMS-branded technical trucker cap (pictured here)! At the $250 level, our signature orange MiMS-branded polarized run shades are yours.
