ABOUT MILE IN MY SHOES
Mile in My Shoes (MiMS) builds community, boosts health and wellness, and sparks social action as we pursue our mission: running together to change perceptions and change lives. MiMS brings the power of running and social connection to people living in homeless shelters, recovery programs, transitioning post-military service, or in reentry centers for people transitioning out of incarceration. Our organization connects community volunteers (“Run Mentors”) with people living in those facilities (“Resident Members”) to form running teams that train and race together.
