I am running the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon in support of Back on My Feet NYC. As someone who has experienced the stress and pain of having no place to live in NYC, outrunning homelessness is a cause that is close to my heart.

This Giving Tuesday, we want to highlight the amazing non-profits we have worked with in 2019 that are changing the world for the better.

Runstreet was founded on the principles of art, camaraderie, equality and sweat therapy, and we are grateful we got to bring all of these principles to life in 2017. 

Runstreet had the privilege of joining JMZ Walls in Brooklyn in an Art Run for Puerto Rico.

Runstreet enjoyed our first ever Boston Art Run, in partnership with Clif Bar, and all ticket sale proceeds went directly to the Mayor's Mural Crew in Boston. 

There are many obstacles that prevent poor people and people with mental illness from accessing exercise opportunities. For example, the cost of transportation, the cost of gyms, lack of exercise education and health information, hazardous environments...Then there are the obstacles like uncertainty, intimidation, resistance to change, inconvenience, discomfort and low self-esteem that we all tend to face regardless of mental health or income.

"Being a part of Back on My Feet has given me things and shown me things that transcend running. It has provided me with a new appreciation for battling adversity and introduced me to some wonderful people. Aside from that, I think New York is the greatest running city in the world."

I've had the opportunity to run 12 miles with someone who has overcome greater odds than I can imagine, but at one point didn't think he could run a mile. A teammate that struggled through a 10-mile race a year ago, carried me through a 16 mile run last week. My sister is running her very first half marathon in January and I get to run beside her. They motivate me.

As we runners know, running offers so much more than a workout or race goal - its power to build confidence, connection and community extend far beyond just the miles and sweat. Margaret Kurtz helps spread this amazing power of running through her involvement with Back on My Feet NYC.

The latest Runstreet Street Art Run was an inspiring 4-mile run dedicated to the creative, compassionate force of the Red Hook Art Project.  

Support Red Hook Art Project at our next event.
