I got the shoes into the hands of the students immediately. They have been using them on our runs, and two of them actually used the shoes to PR (personal record) in on Saturday.\r\n\r\nYour generosity made a big difference in both attitude and performance. For starters, all six of them were immediately re-interested in being at practice. In terms of performance, they have told me how \"fast\" they feel in them. The shoes are top of the line, carbon plated, so there's less weight there and more \"pop.\" I know in the coming months, they will wear these shoes out with love.","fullyFundedDate":1758331253840,"projectUrl":"project/chasing-a-dream/9718478/","projectTitle":"Chasing a Dream","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mayfield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5426329_orig.jpg?crop=800,800,x542,y529&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1627584559254","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5426329"},{"teacherId":5426329,"projectId":9694386,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the shoe donation!

There was an immediate boost of confidence in how the athlete started running - even in the athlete's perception of how important the training was.\r\n\r\nYour donation was also a personal encouragement to me. It meant a lot to see the project supported b/c it gives me the freedom to push the student a bit more rather than seeing the student with an obstacle (aka, poor shoes).","fullyFundedDate":1757420283342,"projectUrl":"project/running-for-good/9694386/","projectTitle":"Running for Good","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mayfield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5426329_orig.jpg?crop=800,800,x542,y529&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1627584559254","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5426329"},{"teacherId":9069463,"projectId":9099887,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in funding our classroom printer and laptop!
