Strides in Recovery is a Los Angeles based nonprofit which brings the healing power of goal-oriented group running/walking to clients in addiction treatment programs. As a volunteer coach of a residential addicition recovery program's LA Marathon team, I have the honor and privilege of helping people experience the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritutal rewards of training for a major enduran

ce event, while turning their lives around. Inspired by the many success stories, I started Strides in Recovery to help others in the recovery community harness the power of running for maintaining their sobriety.

Looking forward to doing the 5K on Sunday morning.

Looking back at all the miles we clocked in 2025, it’s about so much more than just the numbers—it’s about the strides made in recovery, the consistency, and showing up. 💫🏃🏽‍♀️👟

We love sharing these stats because they serve as a beautiful reminder of the hard work we put in as a community. Every step counts, and every mile matters. All 31,668. ♥️

Behind every great community are powerful individuals like Mike and his family ✨

Mike is a proud Chabad Alumni and discovered Strides in Recovery while in treatment. That introduction didn’t just support his recovery —it sparked reconnection with his son Gram. ♥️

Mike has always been dedicated to giving back what was so freely given to him and is now a full family connection. Today, Mike, Gram, and Stephanie (Mike’s wife) are the ultimate volunteer trio. Mike shows up to support the Chabad team every week and his family are present for so many of our events, always looking for ways to support and show up for others. ✨

Recently Mike spoke on a panel sharing his story with high school students among several Strides in Recovery coaches. Thank you Mike and your family for your years of continuous dedication. We love having you in our corner! ☀️⚡️
