The ASICS LA Marathon and LA Big 5K are just 1 month away! Follow #MarathonMonday to learn more about our amazing runners and why they are running for Team P.S. ARTS! This week, meet Burke Walton:
I could not be more excited to be running my first marathon ever with Team P.S. ARTS. As a professional actor and singer, the arts are an enormous part of my life and were a very important part of my educational experience. Not only do the arts provide children with the ability to open their minds and unlock creativity in numerous ways, but they can open many doors down the road in a child’s life. It is uniquely special for me that I am supporting this great organization by running a marathon, because much of my childhood consisted of a wonderful balance between the arts and athletics. I truly believe this balance is so important in a child’s life because it opens their eyes to all the possibilities that the world has to offer.
P.S. ARTS is doing such great work at a time where the arts are unfortunately being overlooked in a lot of school districts and communities around the country. It is impossible for me to say what my life would be like without the arts! They were so important in my growth into adulthood and are still a huge part of my growth and character today. I am honored to be supporting and running 26.2 miles for such a wonderful cause. I hope that people continue to realize that the lack of support for the arts – especially for children – is a big problem, but one we can fix together!
Support Burke & Team P.S. ARTS!
