In Long Beach, people walk a mile in red high heels in February, to raise heart health awareness.
Local pooches promenade down Second Street in costumes and Easter bonnets. Kids ride bikes along the beach in an old-fashioned Fourth of July Bike Parade. Neighborhood residents get in shape together…clean up beaches…provide supplies for homeless people and toys for shelter animals.
And it’s all because of Justin Rudd.
As a full-time activist and nonprofit founder, Justin has implemented approximately seventy Long Beach community programs–benefiting animals, youth, education and the environment. All of them have a common theme: caring, giving and having fun!
Justin talked about his early years in Long Beach and a unique beauty pageant his Community Action Team is sponsoring this weekend: the Bulldog Beauty Contest!
