Back on My Feet (non-profit organization)
Back on My Feet is an American non-profit organization that promotes the self-sufficiency of classified homeless people and underserved communities by engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength and self-esteem. The organization was founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2007 by Anne Mahlum and as of 2013 has chapters in 11 American cities, with continuing plans for expansion. As of May 2015, Katherine Sherratt serves as Chief Executive Officer overseeing the program, day-to-day operations and strategic direction.
== History ==
Back on My Feet started at 5 A.M. in late June 2007. Every morning, founder and avid runner Anne Mahlum waved hello and ran past a group of homeless men. In a few weeks, Mahlum decided to contact Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission, the homeless shelter where these men were living, and ask Executive Director Richard McMillen if she could invite the men to join her on her runs. He agreed, and the first run took place on Wednesday, July 3, 2007 with a group of nine individuals ages 28–57, who were hoping to move their lives forward both physically and spiritually through running.〔USA Today.
