Over 400 runners, walkers, cheerers and volunteers enjoyed a sunny, if chilly, morning at Lake Montebello for the sixth annual Rock Your Socks 5K on Saturday, November 2.
That’s enough to give vaccines, medicine for fevers, treatment for tummy aches and so much more to 480 children without homes.
Many people experiencing homelessness ran, walked and volunteered (including a cheering squad encouraging runners as they reached the finish line). Charm City Run ensured that all 66 Health Care for the Homeless clients in attendance had the shoes they needed to participate and Borden Transportation offered them free transportation to and from the event.
“When you come out to this, you can see there’s a whole community working to help,” said Tahir, who is currently experiencing homelessness. “It’s such a wonderful event.”
