I think my favourite gift of the season arrived today in the form of photos posted on Facebook by Tarah and Wesley Korir.
A couple months ago Tarah posted a request on Facebook asking if any of her GTA running friends had any previously loved running shoes that they could donate to runners in Kenya. She, Wesley and their kids live part time in Kenya and run an amazing program called Kenyan Kids Foundation, that focuses on education, healthcare, and farming. They are also greatly involved in the Kenyan running community.
On a recent JPsTeam fun run, we put out the call for shoe donations. The photos below show the result of this request. Shoes were bundled up and delivered to the Korir's while they were in Canada visiting for Christmas.

Today, the photos below were posted on Facebook by Tarah of the same shoes being distributed to the runners. Talk about a tear-enducing moment! Thank you Tarah and Wesley for this special gift. I can't tell you what it means to see a runner on the other side of the world trying on a pair of shoes that made me so happy.
