Blake Mycosie gained popularity when he almost won the amazing race. Now, he is doing something far bigger than the amazing race.
Blake, after losing the race, decided to go to Argentina. There, he saw that many children went without any shoes. He then thought to start his own shoe company, and for every pair sold, he would donate a pair to a child in need.
Blake named his company TOMS: Shoes for Tomorrow. Currently, he has sold thousands of pairs, allowing for thousands of kids in Argentina to have shoes of their own, as well.
Blake plans to give shoes to kids in Africa and Asia next. His shoes give kids a brighter tomorrow.
