Every once in a while, a story comes along of something that just makes us think the world might not be headed straight to perdition. Recently, we learned about a skater in San Francisco named Jumbo. Seriously, that sounds funny, but it turns out the only aspect of Jumbo Duclayan that's oversized might be his heart...

The San Francisco Sammich Run

This year was the 5th Annual Sammich Run! It was an idea I had come up with years back. Basically, I wanted to get my friends to skate through San Francisco with me. But a lot of them stopped skating for one reason or another. Also I wanted to do something to help the homeless whenever I went and skated through San Francisco. Hence the “Sammich Run”: we’d skate through town on Christmas, and hand out sandwiches to people that could use one. No cost, no catch, just Merry Christmas.

This is the first year in which I decided to photograph this event. I don’t think I will photograph next year’s event just because I feel like it slows down the flow of us skating around and handing out sandwiches. So here is a rare glimpse of what my friends and I do for Christmas.

We always do this close to Christmas, and I don't know if you want to travel away from home at that time of year. You guys are welcome to come out and give us a hand. That would be pretty unreal to have people travel from out of state to help us make and/or distribute food to the homeless. What an awesome response we've had from this site!
