Chris Hatton — BOMF member, runner, and yoga instructor — is running for a cause.
Eight years ago, Chris celebrated his 26th birthday by running a marathon…within prison walls.
After coming to transitional housing, gaining employment and finding a family within Back on My Feet, Chris has gained the confidence and support he needs to run his first official marathon.
Chris was released from nearly 14 years of incarceration a year ago in October and is using the Marine Corps Marathon to mark the anniversary of his freedom and new found life.
“I’m running as a sign that not only I can make it, but that others can, too,” he said.
Join us in supporting Chris and Back on My Feet during his first official marathon at Marine Corps! You can help support Chris HERE!

Keep doing good things! I’m very proud of your progress.
