New York runner David Kilgour wanted to use his skill set to help small businesses and health care workers.

So David went on a 100 mile fundraising run around his hometown of Palm Bay, Florida, and David plans on using that money he raised to purchase gift cards from financially impacted running stores in New York City.

And David says those gift cards will then be donated to frontline medical workers in New York, allowing them to purchase supportive shoes from struggling businesses at no cost to them here to discuss his fund raising effort is none other than David Kilgour.

Thanks for so much for joining us, David.

Um, I came back from New York City as it kind of started to expand in the city down to my hometown in Palm Bay, Florida toa kind of get away and a CZ.

We knew that the virus kind of getting worse of dancer kind of stay out of the state of that a little bit.

Um and so I was looking for, like, a new way to challenge myself.

So I was talking to a buddy of mine, Brendan Clark.

Ah, photographer video for who was who is out there with us.

And I was, Hey, I'm thinking about running 100 miles.

You be down to, like, photo photograph it.

And so kind of through through that, I started to kind of, like, connect the dots as well.

Well, if we're gonna do this like, uh, I would love to find a way to connect a bunch of different people.

So I kind of learned about, like, Instagram live where people could kind of jump into the screen and interact together.

So what if I went for a really long run and was able to connect and communicate with people from all around the world and they were ableto workout with me, whether it's inside or outside of run along with me, But also I think that would be awesome.

And then I kept kind of like expanding the idea because I personally work in the footwear industry as well and work with a lot of these run specialty retailers up in New York City.

So I was like, Okay, well, if we have this big audience as well what if I just put up a donation page and we're able Thio, raise a little bit of money and get back to these struggling retail?

So, yeah, we're up thio $15,500 to write over that.

And any advice you would give to someone out there who's trying to figure out how they can help use their skill sets?

I would just say Try to like, uh, hone in on your own, like, unique skill sets and try to, like, tryingto build off that and, um and yeah, use use what you have and try to get back.

It's beautiful how you're inspiring others t get out there to keep moving and also to help people in the process.
