What is Running With Purpose 365 and The 365 Concept?
"We Build The Best Version Of You So You Can Live The Best Version Of You". Hello, my name is Dustin Weaver, and I am on a mission to change the world and transform the face of addiction. One out of three people who engage in alcohol use or overuse are at significant risk of destroying their lives and losing their livelihood, regardless of their background. This silent problem is rarely discussed, and most people refuse to address it until it becomes severe. For most of my life, everything has been a blur due to alcoholism. I am determined to stay sober and help others suffering from the same disease find a new life. Purpose: My purpose in life is to help others live a better life, filled with purpose, and to help them become the best versions of themselves so they can live the best version of themselves. WHY: The number one reason I run is because it keeps me focused, clear-headed, and sober. Running is my form of recovery.
