Who would have thought running a marathon in Chicago would lead you to a starting line in Africa donating shoes?
That’s where former “ER” actor Anthony Edwards found himself, beginning a new chapter of his life as the first chairman for Shoe4Africa, an organization promoting empowerment through sports and education, centered on receiving donations of running shoes. Edwards was in Crystal City on Tuesday speaking on a panel as part of InterAction Forum 2009.
“That’s it. That’s what I want to spend my time doing,” said “Goose,” recalling how he responded when he heard how the simple act of donating shoes can change a person’s life by giving them the chance to become marathon runners. They have in his own personal life — he’s a three-time marathon runner.
