this Saturday Sept 21 is the Homeboy Industries 5K Run/Walk at Los Angeles State Historic Park
Homeboy Industries serves high-risk, formerly gang-involved men and
women with a continuum of free services and programs, and operates seven
social enterprises that serve as job-training sites.
i'll be at the bone marrow drive booth with my Lights On partner in crime, Joyce...
years ago we spent many a saturday night sitting on the sidewalk in front of the Santa Ana jail at 2am
Lights On is where our friendship began, on that sidewalk
i learned what an amazing person she is, and i am still in awe of all the good things she does
since then Joyce has continued volunteering with prison organizations, and also with the bone marrow registry
this event is a marriage of two causes close to her heart and i am honored to share in it with her
stop by and learn about Homeboy Industries if you're free this saturday
this picture is from August 2008
last night a man left his book in front of the jail.
