BALDWIN BONE & JOINT PARTNERS WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS FOR A SUCCESSFUL 15TH ANNUAL MANY MORE MILES CAMPAIGN
Record response from Mobile/Baldwin County schools as they commit to collect shoes for local homeless families while earning cash for their schools’ P.E. programs
Daphne, AL (March 1, 2018) – Local runners and exercise enthusiasts may have put a lot of miles on old running shoes, but when they are donated to the “Many More Miles” campaign, those shoes will come to life again as they land on the feet of someone who really needs them.
For the 15th consecutive year, Baldwin Bone & Joint, P.C. is hosting this important community outreach project, partnering with the Port City Pacers, Dr. Glenn Glass, The University of South Alabama Student Recreation Center, and Mobile/Baldwin County schools to collect shoes for the homeless outreach programs of Wings of Life, Discovery Ministries, and the Salvation Army Running Forward program. Response to the campaign has grown since its inception from 200 pairs donated in 2004 to just under 2000 pairs distributed in 2017. This year’s campaign began in January and final shoe drop-offs will be received at the 2018 Azalea Trail Run on Saturday, March 24th.
Dr. Todd, Medical Director for The Shoulder Center (TSC) at Baldwin Bone & Joint will present “Oh My Aching Shoulder: Understanding Common Causes and Solutions.” Dr. Todd’s presentation is developed especially for those seeking solutions to issues of the shoulder.
Dr. Chamblee’s presentation, “Solutions for Relief of Hip Pain” will provide information on current treatment options for the relief of hip pain. He will discuss the management of hip arthritis, and both non-operative and operative intervention, specifically addressing the anterior total hip replacement.
