We Run 4 Someone Else

Hey there, my name is Justin Corwin and I am running my first marathon at the Austin Marathon in 2023.

Aside from just running the marathon, I am also raising money to help the homeless community here in Austin.

Growing up in Austin, I have seen firsthand the impact that homelessness has on our community and the people and families affected by it. As the overall population has increased in Austin, so has the number of people affected by homelessness. Some studies show that between 2000-4000 residents experience homelessness on any given night in Austin.

As I was on a long run during my training program through downtown Austin, I knew there had to be a way to use this athletic pursuit for something more than just myself. That is when I came up with We Run 4 Someone Else (WR4SE) and the idea to use this event to raise money to give back.

In partnership with FleetFeet of Austin and Balega, I am raising money to help purchase socks to donate to a local non-profit organization, Caritas of Austin, helping those affected by homelessness. My goal is to raise enough money to donate 500 pairs of socks.

Any amount you can give will be used to help the community and if you are running the Austin Marathon or want to help this campaign, please share with your friends and family and I will see you on the starting line!
