Mile in My Shoes (MiMS) has a special place in our family's hearts. Rebecca has been working in different capacities with the organization since 2023 and was thrilled to step into the role of Interim Executive Director this summer. Joey started as a Run Mentor with Team Sally - a men's recovery team - this year, and Maya and Malia still love cheering.

We are fortunate enough to run (and cheer!) alongside some of the most inspiring people you'll ever meet. MiMS Members are folks experiencing homelessness, in recovery or reentering the community after incarceration and military service. While navigating some of the most difficult transitions of their lives, our Members show up multiple days a week to run with us and tackle goals they never thought possible. It all starts with one mile, but the running becomes a tool for building connection, establishing healthy habits and setting goals that previously seemed impossible. Being a small part of our Members' journeys on and off the race course has been a life-changing experience for our whole family. It's an honor to be a part of this work as we run together to transform ourselves, one another, and our community.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO REACH OUR GOAL!

Our family hopes to raise $5000 to welcome 25 new MiMS Members into our program. That's the equivalent of sponsoring 25 new Member gear kits ($202 per kit) to get Members to the starting line in 2026.

To help us get there, we're offering to match all donations up to $1700 and then Joey's company will match our donation.

That's triple the bang for your buck!!

Please help us by making a donation of any amount in support of Mile in My Shoes. Gifts of all sizes go directly toward providing running gear, race entries, workshops and community-building events MiMS Members. Here are some ideas:

$35 - Sponsors a Resident Member in a 5K race.
$50 - Buys a pair of running shoes for a Member.
$100 - Buys a all the milestones for one Member (10-run blue shirt, 20-run Alumni shirt + GPS watch, 30-run long-sleeve, 50-run hoodie)
$202 - Sponsors a Member's gear kit for a season (socks, shoes, gloves, shirt, shorts and sports bra)
$300 - Covers all the gear + distance race entry

Do you have an employer who will match!? Quadruple your dollar!
