Some in the group watched the Award-winning documentary Skid Row Marathon and suggested we help the Skid Row Running Club.

Judge Craig Mitchell organized a running club comprised of homeless, recovering alcoholic, and paroled men and women on LA’s Skid Row who seek to rediscover their sense of self-worth and dignity.

You can rent and watch the movie on Amazon Prime Video.
