Countryside “In your shoes” also lands in Cinisello Balsamo, promoted by Igor Ballpresident of the Performance 360° Association who, with the help of Civil Protection of Cinisello Balsamo organized a shoe collection by joining the project which encourages less fortunate young athletes to believe in their dreams.
It was 2017 when, at the end of the Rome marathon, Francisco Grimaldi with the help of Giordano Bravetti decided to collect the running shoes of his teammates to take them to Kenya, to the land of marathon runners, where a pair of shoes represented the change in the lives of thousands of people, families, villages and entire communities. On each pair of shoes they wrote the name of the donor and left for Africa.
Thus the project was born “On the edge of the world” to support sports communities in developing countries around the world. Starting with just 44 pairs of running shoes, today they are an international reality that helps and encourages those who have decided to get involved to become a champion. Every year Francisco and his team travel to one of these countries and are already ready for the next expeditions.
To partecipate to the initiative, which will be promoted on the occasion of Running Festival event, you need to carefully wash the running shoes you want to donate, apply a label with your name on it so you can receive a photo of the marathon runner who will wear them. It is essential to follow the directions because otherwise the shoes will be discarded.
