Dalbey Education Sponsors Denver Rescue Mission Marathoners
In 2007, Dalbey Education worked with a group of 18 unlikely success stories by sponsoring a marathon team that will compete in the May 20th Colorado Colfax Marathon.
This isn’t your average group of runners, though. Many of these men are homeless and recovering from crippling addictions. These are individuals with very difficult pasts. But they’ve all committed to changing their lives through the unique “New Life Program” at the Denver Rescue Mission.
At the beginning of the year, these recovering addicts all set a goal with the help of mentor Russ Dalbey. And on May 20th, they hit the streets to attempt a feat that would have seemed impossible to them just a few months back: finishing a brutal 26-mile run through downtown Denver.
The Denver Post broke this amazing story in this online article:

Dalbey Education’s financial support and coaching meant the world to the individuals on the Denver Rescue Mission’s running team. Through these valuable contributions, the lives of many deserving and self-motivated individuals were truly uplifted and given a chance to make a new start.
Dalbey Education is continuing its support of this not-for-profit addiction recovery program in 2008. Information about volunteering for the Denver Rescue Mission is available online at www.denverrescuemission.org.
