Susan Akers
Lawyer, runner, and Alexandria
I love to run races, but when I saw this one I decided to volunteer instead of running it. We live in the area and I want to support the efforts on helping the homeless and also it was a good opportunity for me and my son to volunteer.

I’ve always run. I have a friend that works for Carpenter’s Shelter and I would be going for a run anyway and it is a good cause, and also my friend is putting a lot of efforts into his work at Carpenter’s Shelter, so I wanted to run it.

We live in the area and we thought it was a good cause, so we wanted to come out this Saturday and support it. It was awesome to be able to combine doing something you believe in and something you enjoy doing.
