Growing up my mom couldn’t even afford to buy me a pair of running shoes. My first pair of track shoes were donated to me and that changed my life forever. Last night, I was at an amazing event with artists, athletes and businessmen and I kept thinking- I came from nothing and my life changed bc someone gave me a pair of running shoes. Someone giving, lead me to become a 3x Olympian. I attended the Samsung charity Gala and was honored when they GAVE 20,000 dollars to my foundation “Hurdles of Hope” which helps kids with incarcerated parents. One gesture of giving can help change someone’s life forever. It did for me. Thank you Samsung for helping making a change in the community. Thank you to anyone who helps bless others to get them on the right track. #samsunggives
