Make Every Mile Count

Thank you for being here!! I will be running in the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon (still doesn't feel real), and I won't be doing it alone, but rather 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. 

Back on my Feet is an organization I personally feel extremely passion about. Over the past few years, I have been volunteering with morning run circles in Boston. We all meet at 5:45am, yes to run, but also for folks to develop confidence, community and relationships so they get back on their feet one mile at a time. Through this organization, I personally have seen so many members grow, I have again new perspectives and new friends. While BoMF starts with counting miles, it's so much more than that; the organization also provides resources combat homelessness to help members get to where they want to be. 

To give you an idea of the impact your donation could have:

  • $50 can help a member or an alum secure an interview and begin a new position.
  • ​$100 provides a public transportation card to ensure safe and reliable transportation to work.
  • $250 provides members with basic furnishings for a new home.
  • $1,000 can cover most professional certifications so our members can find work.

Thank you for your support! It really means a lot to me and I can't wait to see some of you out there <3
