2023 TCS London Marathon

Make Every Mile Count

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I will be running in the 2023 TCS London Marathon, racing for and with Back on My Feet (BoMF): an organization that combats homelessness through the power of running, community support and essential employment and housing resources. 

To give you an idea of the impact your donation could have:
- $50 could help a member reclaim critical documents needed for employment.
- $100 could provide a member with 4-6 hours of career coaching.
- $250 could help ensure a member has safe and reliable transit to and from work.
- $500 could provide a member with workforce readiness workshops.
- $1,000 could cover most professional certifications so members can find work.

Here's how Back on my Feet helps to combat the cycle of homelessness:

Back on My Feet recruits individuals at homeless or addiction and treatment facilities around the country. These individuals – known as members – commit to run three early mornings a week. Goals are set and achieved with one mile becoming two, two becoming three and so on, and after 30 days with 90%, their first milestone: they earn the opportunity to move into Next Steps.

In Next Steps, members work with Back on My Feet program staff to develop a personal road map to independence. Each member attends financial literacy classes and job skills training provided through partnerships with corporate partners. Members can earn financial aid to remove barriers to employment and housing such as work supplies, transportation and security deposits. Members who achieve employment and housing become Alumni Members.

From their first morning run to Next Steps meetings with Back on My Feet employees and workshops with financial partners, members are supported by their community on their road to self-sufficiency. Thank you for your support!
