We added tons of new volunteers and two new members to our New Jerusalem Now team during February. Our new residents are Ed and Carolyn, who have both started off with great attendance, attitudes, and running! On our volunteer end we welcomed the Villanova BOMF running club, Eric, Julianne, and Frank. Our circles have been huge in the morning and we have had some awesome runs! The weather started to warm up but was definitely a tease!
On our resident end, Shabazz and Malik both found jobs, moved out of the facility, and are doing amazingly well. They keep in touch and still come out for some runs! George is using his awesome work habits and picked up a second job. Dave hit 500 miles for his plaque! Go Dave! Mohamed and Dave ran in the Frostbite 5 miler where Mohamed set a PR. He beat his previous 5 mile PR by 6 minutes!
We started training for the longer races that are coming up this spring and are looking forward to more of this warm weather! Our goals for March are to get more people into the longer distances runs. We are also looking forward to a visit and nutrition talk from Dr. Garett to help everyone get healthy! The team is excited for the upcoming North Bowl social with the BOMF family. We love seeing everyone, and many have never been bowling before! Come out and join us Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 5:40AM!
Our members of the month are Claude (res) and Callie (non-res).
Res Claude: “BOMF has brought me a lot of joy and I have never felt better!”
Non-Res-Callie: “Volunteering with the team has been so much fun! I love getting to know each member and hearing about what they do and how much they have to offer. I can’t wait to keep running with the team!”
