Strides in Recovery is a Los Angeles based nonprofit which brings the healing power of goal-oriented group running/walking to clients in addiction treatment programs. As a volunteer coach of a residential addicition recovery program's LA Marathon team, I have the honor and privilege of helping people experience the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritutal rewards of training for a major endurance event, while turning their lives around. Inspired by the many success stories, I started Strides in Recovery to help others in the recovery community harness the power of running for maintaining their sobriety.

We’re excited to share that we’ve set up a Strides in Recovery shoe donation bin at !

A huge thank-you to store manager Victor (pictured) for the warm welcome, for taking the time to learn more about our mission, and for helping us get this initiative off the ground. And the kindness didn’t stop there— the team at Run With Us already had 20 pairs of shoes ready to donate before we even set up the bin!

Every pair of shoes can help someone take their next step toward recovery, one stride at a time. We’re so grateful to Run With Us for supporting our community and helping us make movement more accessible to those in recovery.

Thank you, Victor and the entire Run With Us team, for being part of the journey!

FROM BATTLING ADDICTION TO RUNNING 26.2 MILES. 🏅

Meet Michael! At the end of 2023, he was still battling addiction. On January 3, 2024, he began his sobriety journey — and on October 11, 2026, he crossed the finish line of his FIRST MARATHON.

Earlier this year, Michael started running with Strides in Recovery while in treatment. Before long, he became a volunteer, finding another way to give back to the community that had become part of his recovery.

As Michael puts it: “This is another way for me to give back, it just makes sense.”

From taking those first steps in recovery to conquering 26.2 miles, Michael’s journey is a powerful reminder that recovery is about more than what we leave behind. It’s about everything we can build along the way.

Michael, we’re so proud of you and honored to be part of your journey. Here’s to every mile, every milestone, and all the finish lines still ahead!
