Richmond Sailfish - Walk a Mile in their Shoes
We are a year-round swim team in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our swimmers participate in local and international fundraisers to learn the importance of giving back. Our world is better when we think about and help others through small acts of giving and volunteering. Help us make a difference by doing a small act of giving and volunteering today.
Our team is off to a good start on our fundraiser for Sir Nimrod Infant & Junior School in Uganda. I have included photos of our “Walk a mile in their shoes workout”. Our swimmers walked a 1-mile round trip to a local watering spot in Richmond, CA, to fill up 1+ gallon bottles of water. They then carried them back to our pool to experience first-hand what it is like to have to do this every day just to go to school. It was a life-changing experience for our swimmers and parents, and I hope that we can continue to change hearts and minds about this important issue.
We will do a second “Walk a mile in their shoes workout” in two weeks to keep our momentum going.
