NC’s “barefoot benefactor” pounds the pavement
July 2010
"Barefoot Benefactor" Matt Jenkins
Matt Jenkins (of Boone, NC) is running across the state, barefoot...and all for a good cause.
Matt, a marathoner, decided he wanted to raise money and awareness for nonprofits like the Western Youth Network (where he works at an after school program). So, he decided to run from NC's coast to the Tennessee border -- with no shoes! Watch the news coverage as Matt passed through the Triad yesterday.
You can also follow Matt's day-to-day progress on Twitter (@BarefootNCRun)...send him an encouraging word!
Be Like Matt!
