Back on My Feet (BoMF) is a nonprofit organization that promotes the self-sufficiency of those experiencing homelessness by engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength and self-esteem. BoMF is a 6-9 month program that works with individuals living in homeless facilities. Teams are formed at our partner facilities, where the foundation of BoMF is laid through dedication to running. After 30 days in our program, each member who maintains 90% attendance moves to the Next Steps phase. Next Steps enables members to move towards self-sufficiency through educational and job training opportunities. Additionally, each member has the opportunity to earn $1,250 in financial aid to assist in their efforts toward self-sufficiency. http://nyc.backonmyfeet.org/nyc-landing.html |
Welcome to my 12 in 12 in 2012 blog. I am attempting (along with Dan Schultz) to run 12 marathons in 12 months in 2012. You can view the marathon schedule on the lower left side of this blog homepage. We are always looking for runners to join us for any of the marathons (or other distances as most of these races have shorter distances to run on the same day). Look for more posts to come detailing training runs, travel plans, etc.
