“Back in 2012 when Addict II Athlete first started, my only form of transportation year-round was a double stroller. I was a single mom in treatment and unemployed. I really wanted to join the team in a 5k but didn’t even have running shoes. A few days before the race Coach Blu gave me a pair of running shoes that had been donated and I was able to not only attend my first 5k, but I crossed the finish line. I finished the race, double stroller and all. The team was aware of how badly I wanted to run that 5k and they helped make it happen. The kindness alone was an emotional experience.” -Chelsie
