It started off as a quick news story but Mike figured that he would reach out to the local athlete and he is so glad that he did!

David Filar ran across the state of Massachusetts and raised over $10,000 for Christmas toys to go to the UMASS Memorial Children’s Hospital!

That is what initially caught our attention but we also discuss his running background, the importance of growth outside the comfort zone, and his career of designing incredible shoes for some well known people!

Be sure to donate to his fundraiser, and support the companies that helped support his goal like PYNRSGrillos PicklesVee Friends, and Puma!  Follow David Filar on social media and keep an eye out for his documentary to be released!
