Many More Miles
Baldwin Bone and Joint, P.C., in Daphne has organized the Many More Miles campaign for the 11th consecutive year. Many More Miles collects gently used athletic shoes for the homeless outreach programs of Wings of Life and Discovery Ministries.
Many More Miles is done in partnership with Mobile and Baldwin County YMCA branches, the Port City Pacers, University of South Alabama Student Recreation Center and McCoy Outdoor Company. Last year, almost 2,000 pairs of shoes were collected.
Shoes will be accepted through the Azalea Trail Run on March 22. Shoes, tied in pairs, can be donated at Baldwin Bone and Joint at 1505 Daphne Ave. in Daphne, YMCA facilities in Mobile and Daphne, Glass Orthodontics at 1303 Main St. in Daphne, McCoy Outdoor Co. at 3498 Springhill Ave. in Mobile, the University of South Alabama Student Recreation Center and the Azalea Trail Run Expo at the Mobile Civic Center on March 21-22.
