Today as a march on Washington commemorates the date of the Martin Luther King Jr led march in 1963, the urgency and demand for change are the highest they've ever been. Social media has shown a bright light on disparity, violence, & hypocrisy. In the midst of all the upheaval, the injustices continue and so, the fight against it continues and gains momentum.

For us, the marathon continues. It was just last week, our Heartbreakers partnered up with Pioneers & Unnamed run crews for our second in the Runs Against Racism series. It was an intimate gathering of Boston's running leaders and community members brought together in support of racial justice. This time, funds raised through the event went to I Have A Future. Check out the photos below and follow @heartbreakersrun for the next one.
