I hit my $500 goal for the 2018 Blue Cross Broad Street Run. Together we raised $500 for Students Run Philly Style.
- To think that me running in 8℉ weather did this.
- Or running in rain.
- That tripping and falling the woods and staring up at the trees then laying on my back in the cold somehow mattered.
- Starting to run back in the summer of 2016 mattered at all, nearly two years later.
It’s sad that after-school programs are getting axed, and funding for schools drying up, and that we need to resort to running 10 miles in Philadelphia (or run 200+ miles across Haiti) for good things to happen in this world, but that’s the way it is.
Can it change? Well, it changes every time someone pulls out their card and donates money to these things. It’s not perfect, but it works, and we’ll keep doing it.
