Who Is Bless Your Sole?

Bless Your Sole is an organization that has been founded through a man's love for running. It is the simple wish that running can change people's lives for the better, like it did for Michael Agyin. He started running, it saved his life, and now he wants to pass on this blessing to others. 

BLESS YOUR SOLE:
Seeks to provide less fortunate men, women, and children with disabilities moderately worn athletic shoes.

In 2011, Michael Agyin got sick. After being in and out of the hospital, and being diagnosed with diabetes, he saw an uncertain future and began to fear for his life. Being a deaf man, he was faced with a new challenge; improving his quality of life.

Michael went from a couch potato to being able to jog a mile. He calls himself an accidental runner. This accident saved him and now he wants to share this blessing with others.  

Michael has chosen people with disabilities to receive this wonderful gift because this population historically has low physical activity levels.  Many are also facing new health issues such as obesity and diabetes on top of their disability. Bless Your Sole wants to help them fight this epidemic and cross the finish line healthier and happier.

How can you help bless a sole?
Share your love for running. You can donate your moderately worn athletic shoes and bless your sole on someone else, making a difference in their life.
