As we are running representing BOMF, we are looking to raise $3,600 [the cost to sponsor two runners for one year in the program] before race weekend [September 23 - 24]. Back on My Feet 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. Back on My Feet (BoMF) does n
ot provide food nor does it provide shelter, but instead provides a community that embraces equality, respect, discipline, teamwork and leadership. All members - regardless of race, education or socioeconomic status - join together to move their own lives forward as well as the lives of their teammates. To reach this goal, we need EVERYONE'S help. Here are some ideas:
1. Donate to the cause through our blog site at http://teamthirdleg.blogspot.com. No amount is too small...clean out your sofa, glove box in your car, spouse's wallet...whatever!!!
2. Follow us on our blog at http://teamthirdleg.blogspot.com and on this page
3. Join us for a morning training run at Blair House on Monday, Wednesday or Friday at 5:45 AM [yes, that says AM people].
4. Come cheer us on at Blair House on Monday, Wednesday or Friday at 5:45 AM.
5. Offer your laundry services for our nasty running clothes...90+ degree heat + running many miles = stinky clothing. We are excited to be doing this incredible race for a spectacular organization. Please help us reach our goal. We will see you on the road!
