I love to read stories like this. It’s one of the reasons why I still believe that sports, at their core, can do good and teach people lessons about life. The coach at one of the local universities here in Indianapolis is coaching tonight’s game in bare feet to raise awareness for the needy children around the world who don’t have shoes.

Coach Hunter and the founder of Samaritan’s Feet, Emmanuel “Manny” Ohonme, came up with the idea to raise awareness for his cause. Samaritan wants to give 10 million pairs of shoes to kids and Hunter has already collected 40,000 pairs to give away.

If you are interested in donating to the cause you can visit Samaritan’s Feet website and donate.
