The Running Club started a year and two or three months ago.
00:16
My involvement gives me the ability to impact lives in a way that I cannot as a judge.
00:22
The total state prison commitment for Mr. Williams is 71 years, four months to life.
00:33
David was one of the first members of The Running Club.
00:36
I slept up under here for maybe two years.
00:41
I'm down on Skid Row, you know, I'm better than this.
00:43
No, no, I'm not, I'm not better than that at all.
00:46
I got no hope.
00:47
That's where I wound up, Skid Row, and I lost everything when I went down there.
00:51
I said, what gang are you guys from?
00:53
I started shooting at them, and I seen them both fall right there in the driveway.
00:59
One horrendous act does not define a person in his or her entirety.
01:07
I came in the mission at 300 pounds.
01:09
Judge Mitchell came in, I'm starting a running club.
01:12
I couldn't waddle down the street.
01:13
I waddled down the street and just, oh God, I'm dying.
01:15
You do not wake up one morning and say you're going to run a marathon.
01:19
You have to be focused, you have to be disciplined, and you really have to be committed to the proposition.
01:25
I just kind of thought, as a drug addict, this is my lot in life.
01:29
But what running did is it gave me my fight back.
01:31
It gives us our fight back.
01:33
No matter where we come from, we can do anything and attain the impossible.
01:38
He doesn't spend money on anything, nothing, except running shoes, plane trips.
01:45
35 years of drugs and addiction, 10 years sleeping on the streets of Skid Rowey, and here we are in Africa.
01:53
Wow.
01:57
Modi is not running with us this morning, okay?
02:00
Major relapse.
02:02
I'm an elite super athlete.
02:04
Oh my God.
02:05
I'm not.
02:06
Your legs are like, falling off at the end of every run.
02:10
People question, why are you spending this kind of money to take people halfway around the world?
02:17
It's just, it's such a big deal being here.
02:20
It's not just about homeless people running in Rome.
02:24
Giving someone from Skid Row an opportunity to come to a glorious city is incredibly empowering.
02:32
It gives them dignity, and that's what this is about.
