We are very proud of our member Erin Poirier who ran 424K across the country of Gambia this summer and raised over $35,000 for HIV/AIDS and Malaria education. While we followed Erin's journey across the sea, we were introduced via the internet to a couple of Gambian runners who encouraged, protected and supported Erin.

Erin left her Heart & Sole Running Club tank with a Gambian runner and we followed up by sending more tanks to her support team. Below are the photos we received and email from the runners in the Gambia.




In this email, i send our sincere apprecition and thanks to our sister

our morals in the art of running which we have been introduced to by
my dear Sister Erin... our inspiration. Attached are pictures i took in

part of the Atlantic.
