It has been a great honor to be recognized by so many, to include the Star Tribune, the Catholic Spirit and as the "Rockstar Donor" from Soles4Souls please click on those links below for those stories.
Other great events since my last post I have entered the Travel4Souls challenge. I am trying to collect as many shoes as I can in the next few months, date ranges of January 1 - April 31, 2012. My ambitious goal is to collect 20,000 ADDITIONAL pair of shoes. You can watch the Soles4Souls leader board to see how I am doing.
If you are interested in collecting shoes in your neighborhood or dropping shoes off please contact me. I am also hosting a community shoe drop on March 18th from 1 - 4 p.m. at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, 9050 93rd Avenue, Brooklyn Park, MN.
I have also been blessed to partner with two great companies, Tim Holtan with On Time Delivery Services, and Chris Koehnen with 1-800-GOT-JUNK Twin Cities. Please show your support by contacting them with any of your needs.
While sitting in front of the fire place one day doing my homework this past week, my phone vibrated with a call from a restricted number. I hesitated, but answered and found myself speaking to Wayne Elsey, the Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. He had heard about my project and wanted to call to thank me. I was too surprised by his call to even engage in a conversation. Hopefully I will have a chance to talk to him again, when I earn the trip with Travel4souls!!!!
