About Joshua Yuen

I've never enjoyed running. I've also never really challenged myself physically or mentally in a way that distance running requires (for me, at least). But like many things in life, training with friends, taking one day at a time, and having the support of my community make it a lot easier and more joyful.

I'm choosing to run in support of homelessness efforts because it's one of the areas that I actually tend to be most uncomfortable taking action for. Of course, I am aware that my running a half marathon doesn't do much to expose me to the issue of homelessness and to get me more directly involved. But for me, it is a start. Thankfully, Hope for San Diego makes support opportunities so accessible and available for people like me!

Here is my commitment:
  • During the training season, I will find one volunteering opportunity in the area of homelessness.
  • During the half marathon, at every mile, I will pray for different aspects of homelessness.
  • After the half marathon, I will continue to support Hope for San Diego, their programs, and their partners by giving my time and my financial support.
I would love for you to join me in any of the following:
  • Financial support for Hope For San Diego's partners with programs for homelessness
    • Click "Give Now" on the right side of this page
  • Prayer for the homeless population and initiatives to support them
  • Train or volunteer with me!
