Good morning.  Following is a message from Debby Spetnagel that I have been asked to post about where you can donate new and used running shoes:

Chris Heupel

President

FLEET FEET Runner’s Club

FLEET FEET Sports donates new and worn shoes to Soles4Souls.  Donations boxes are located at each of stores.  This charity provides shoes to children and families in dire need in the United States and around the world. The website is www.soles4souls.org.

We are also collecting shoes at the start line of the Lewis & Clark marathon.  The Missouri National Guard wants to send a truckload of shoes to Afghanistan as part of their “Farmers helping Farmers” program to help rebuild the agriculture in the war-torn economy.  More information may be found on the Lewis & Clark website http://www.fleetfeetstl.com/lewisandclarkmarathon/race_info.

We are in high gear for Lewis & Clark planning.  David and I offer heartfelt thanks to all SLUGS who will be assisting David and Victoria White with the SLUG aid station at mile 6.41.  We’re expecting over 5500 participants this year so it should be an exciting morning on September 14^th.  Good luck to those who may be running!

Thank you for your support!

Debby Spetnagel, Owner
