Today, when reading the most recent Red Lizard Gazette, I came across an article describing a volunteer opportunity that involves running. Currently, some Red Lizards are partnering with the DePaul Treatment Centers to run with men in recovery. Apparently, they must have a chaperon to leave the facility - this gives them a chance to get outdoors, get some exercise and, hopefully, develop a life long relationship with running. All which will hopefully help them as they overcome their addictions.
So, I immediately sent an email off to the author and received a response from the woman who is working to get a similar program set up for the women at DePaul. She also sent me an application which I'll turning in tomorrow. Then a drug test and a criminal background check and I should be ready to take some ladies running just as soon as they get the program ready to go!
