Take a step with Bruce...Donate $12

Bruce is literally donating his feet (and entire self) to this cause. This makes his feet key to the movement. So we thought, what if you could buy every step Bruce takes? There are 12 inches in a foot, thus the idea was born.

With every step, Bruce runs to make sure there's always a safe place to go. He runs so that his past helps create a better future for others.

12 inches × 5,280 feet × 3,000 miles = endless possibilities

About Bruce About the Run unitedstatesrun.com

“I run for the Crisis Center because I know how it feels to have no place to go; to be abused by the people who are supposed to love you; and, to try to make a new and better life for yourself.”

— Bruce W. Johnson
