I volunteer for Back On My Feet, "Back on My Feet (BoMF) is a national nonprofit organization that is dedicated to creating independence and self-sufficiency within the homeless and other underserved populations by first engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength and self-esteem." Basically I meet up with one of the teams and run with the residents once a week. They actually run M, W, F, Saturday and do one race a month. It's a fun way to get some exercise and give someone a helping hand at the same time! BOMF is starting a new team at Wheeler Mission, and they are looking for volunteers... If you're interested here is a link to BOMF....

Thanks for your time...

I had no idea this was going on in Indy. Definitely something I wll pray about. Right now though I don't think I could 'run' very far. is it all about running or how else can we get involved?0

The morning groups have walkers also, and it seems like they often need volunteers to work at water stations! Thanks for asking!0
