For older running shoes that are still in wearable shape, help us collect them for Pacer friend, Bill Briggs to take to the Philippines for folks who need shoes. We need these by November 21st!!
If you have older running shoes you no longer wear and they are still in wearable shape, please wash (do not dry) them and bring them to one of our Group Runs (Tuesday nights at 6:00 p.m. and Saturday mornings at 7:00 a.m. at GSU's Hanner Field House parking lot) BEFORE NOVEMBER 21st so we can pass them along to Bill Briggs, a Savannah Strider friend, and his wife Maggie who will take them to the Philippines again this winter on another mission trip. For the past few years, Bill and Maggie have been collecting shoes along with much needed medical supplies and reading glasses to take to the Philippines and Honduras with their church. Amazingly, they've managed to stuff everything into their luggage. They explained a dentist and medical assistant are usually in attendance on these missions and are able to provide the local people with some much needed dental care and minor medical assistance. They report both countries and their people are absolutely beautiful, and the folks have always been so appreciative of everyone's help. So Bill is asking if we can all help them again this year!
