Their Coming to Baltimore

Runners have this saying that you can be anything you want to be when you are out there hitting the pavement. Back on my Feet takes this notion and puts it into action...literally.

Back on my Feet is coming to Baltimore on March 16th and I cant wait to be a part of it. The organization's focus is homeless people. The homeless get a chance to realize hope and opportunity, which includes a stable job and a place to live. They just have to be able to work towards their goal one (sometimes difficult) step at a time. How is that not like running?

Members of Back on my Feet understand what runners understand and that is no one is going to take the steps for you. They understand (like other runners do) that the community is there to cheer and to motiviate. From that you will get what you need to take that next step, to go that next mile, to make that next turn. Members of Back on my Feet get empowerment. They understand the simple notion that to get anywhere in life, including out of homelessness, you have to take it one step at a time.
