When we operated our business, RaceReady, a very rewarding part of our business was outfitting the Students Run L.A. It is a remarkable program which has been very successful. The gist of the program is to train kids, mostly under-privileged, to complete the L.A. Marathon. Some of the SRLA kids would otherwise be prime material for joining the "gangs" and participating in other destructive behavior.
Gerry and I fully support Students Run L.A. and are happy to have been with them through the years.
At the risk of sounding trite, running a marathon does resemble running your life. There are uphills, downhills, feelings of pain and joy, companionship and the struggle to achieve a goal. Crossing the finish line ---- it is an experience I will always cherish.
