Robert Espinoza runs for the cure.

The owner of Fleet Feet Sports helps organize Savannah’s many foot races from the Bridge Run to the Tybee Marathon, but the city’s first Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure holds special meaning.

“I lost my mom to breast cancer four years ago. While most races are about competition, this one is about remembrance.”

It’s also about survival: 75% of the funds raised at this month’s 5K will stay local for early detection and education programs. “It’s my passion to help out charities and keep people moving at the same time.”

Rain or shine, you can find Robert sprinting through the squares, exercising his “fitlosophy”: “Do something that gets your heart rate up once a day without getting mad,” adding that “an active town is a prosperous town.”

What you like best about wearing a skirt? Running is easier – lots more leg room. Now when I’m selling these, I can speak from experience!

How about reading skirt!? It’s eye-grabbing, easy to read and entertaining.
