Yesterday we took our Hood 2 Hood through the Uptown section of Philadelphia. The community embraced us and chanted as we chanted Miles up and Gun Down! Don’t shoot and save the youth! We even hit one corner and started doing the Cha Cha Slide with some community members!

[Michael Rowe 🏴 @michaelrowe]

Leroy Miles does so much for the community. We're incredibly grateful that he is also a sponsored runner for @LOVERUNPHILLY and @LegacyOfHopePHL, helping to provide emergency support and hope to cancer patients and their families.

"I run to escape from the world of 'what we can’t do" and turn it into 'what we can do' without being afraid to travel the path that is motivating and uplifting to define self awareness; knowing who you are, where you come from and how far you have come while facing challenges, roadblocks and adversity."

"I'm setting the stage to motivate others as much as they motivate me."

To Leroy: Philadelphia is lucky to have you ❤️

Run the @LOVERUNPHILLY half marathon or 7K with Leroy Miles and hundreds of others who are running for free and running with a purpose. Let's motivate each other.
