Spreading the Good
Greg Woodburn is the founder and president of Give Running and has been Spreading the Good by giving running shoes to disadvantaged youth since 2006. Give Running shares a love for running, as well as the many benefits and opportunities running provides, with disadvantaged youth in Third-World nations and local inner-city communities by collecting, cleaning, and then donating new and used running and athletic shoes. Give Running also gives out a pair of new socks with each pair of shoes they donate, and educates youth about the sport of running.
Give Running also spreads the joy of giving by providing people who want to help others with a way to help others through shoe contributions and youth runner sponsorships.
Together, we can make a world of difference to deserving youth from Los Angeles to Haiti to as far away as Africa by giving them a chance to lace ’em up and encouraging them to take a step forward – and never stop running!
