Naomi's Fundraiser for MiMS!

As many of your know, I've been a part of the Mile in My Shoes community for the last few years. I serve on the board, I've been a Run Mentor and the highlight of my year is running the Drumstick Dash with a Run Member on Thanksgiving morning. This year I am raising funds for Mile in My Shoes on Give to the Max Day (November 16th). Please consider a gift to MiMS (no gift is too big or too small)!

MiMS is special to me for many reasons. As a lifelong runner I know that it can be an amazing way to build community, tackle mental health, set and achieve goals and build physical fitness. I've seen firsthand how running can change lives and I'm so proud to be a part of an organization that helps 100s of people in our community achieve their goals!

MiMS' mission in 'Running together to transform ourselves, one another, and our community' and we currently have teams at 6 facilities across the Twin Cities and also have a distance team for folks who want to take on a marathon or half marathon! Our teams of Resident Members (people staying in shelters, reentry centers and recovery programs) and volunteer Run Mentors have run thousands of miles side by side, completing races from one mile to a marathon(!) in pursuit of our vision: using the power of running to bring together people from diverse backgrounds to build connections, boost wellness, spark social change, and center people traditionally excluded from running spaces.
