There are many people who make donations to their favorite charity, during the Holiday season.

When I was asked what I wanted for Christmas, I realized there is not much that I want or need. It made me feel really fortunate. I am so thankful for this- I am one lucky lady. Because of this I felt a deep desire to help someone in need. So this year, I decided I wanted to donate, and because I am a runner, there is nothing better to give, then my retired running shoes. So I donated them to a company I love supporting, Kind Runner.

I am a runner who has a shoe rotation.

I am a runner who retires her shoes on average around every 400 miles.

This means I end up with a huge pile of retired running shoes.

So to avoid looking like a shoe hoarder, I now donate my retired running shoes to Kind Runner.

It is really simple.

1. Purchase your next pair of running shoes from Kind Runner.
2. You will receive your new running shoes in a box with proper postage and address.
3. Remove your new shoes from the box and put your old shoes in.
4. Ship it out for free with UPS.
5. Once Kind Runner receives your donation they will e-mail you.
6. Make sure you set up your account with Kind Runner so they can give you kind runner rewards.
7. Every pair of shoes you donate you will receive kind runner rewards which can be used towards your next purchase.

Always remember to be kind! Happy Running!
