Michigan Group Gets Up and Running Again

2016-07-19 03.06.43

Grace Centers of Hope in Pontiac, Michigan began anew with Up and Running Again after taking a break for a couple years. There are approximately 25 residents participating along with 4 volunteers. They just finished up their first month of training.  10 more weeks to go!

The enthusiasm of the residents is wonderful, and they’re determined to finish. For many, they are only 1 – 2 months in sobriety; and are faithfully showing up at 5:50am for the training. A few have children, so that means other residents are waking up to take care of the kids while their mom runs.  We are excited to see how their dedication changes their lives.
