The 13th Annual Homelessness Marathon begins 7 p.m., EST, Tues. Feb 23rd and runs for 14 hours until 9 a.m., EST, Wed. Feb. 24th.
"We have a mindset in this country that homelessness is a problem that can wait," comments Jeremy Weir Alderson, founder of the Homelessness Marathon, "but it's a dire emergency for the people who are homeless, a drain on our economy, and a stain on our national honor. We ought to solve this problem, and we could if we would only turn our attention to it."
The Homelessness Marathon will address the problem of homelessness by speaking directly with homeless people, who will give their first-hand testimony on how they became homeless and the obstacles they face before they can be housed again. READ MORE >> |
