Embodying the Spirit of the Cause: The IRIS Refugee Run Sunday February 4th

Yesterday, February 4th, I had the honor and the privilege to take part in the annual #IRIS #RunforRefugees.   It was an opportunity to use my body to engage in what is affectionately known as #participaction.  Along with thousands of others, I travelled to #WilburCrossHighSchool in New Haven, Connecticut in order to use my body and my actions to take a stand for Refugees attempting to resettle in Connecticut and across the United States.

Please enjoy the photos from this amazing day.  They include pictures of runners, including a storm trooper and yours truly who actually walked the 5K in what was my record time of fifty-five minutes.  The final picture was from the #SuperBowl party I attended at the end of a very long day.  Celebrating the #Eagles Super Bowl Victory was poignant as it allowed my day to end with a win for a new hero over an established dynasty.  Long live #DREAMERS, your day is coming!
