Lydia Ghattas, Non-Residential Member, Dallas LIFE “Back on My Feet has changed my perspective on life. I love the friends, and now family, I’ve met through running in the mornings and races throughout the month. At 5:45 AM everyone stands in the huddle the same. Everyone has a unique story and the more I spend time with them the more I want to know and share my story. Spending time with BoMF lets you be a small part of something greater going on across the country. I recently ran with one of the Atlanta teams and was received with a warm welcome and of course, hugs!” |

Bianca Hernandez, Non-Residential Member, Salvation Army “When I joined Back on My Feet, I figured it would be a good way to log a few extra miles. I planned on going one day a week, but that changed quickly! I had no idea what a big part of my life it would become! Even though getting up before dawn is tough, I can’t imagine life without my teammates at the Salvation Army. Whether it’s a PR or a new job, watching them achieve their goals is inspiring, and I am proud to be a small part of such a great organization.” |

Rosalyn Davis, Non-Residential Member, The Bridge “When I joined Back on My Feet, I was not a morning person, nor was I a recreational runner. Back on My Feet has transformed me into a runner. Admittedly, the morning part still needs a bit of work. I love being greeted with genuine smiles and meaningful hugs, in the mornings. It makes the sacrifice of sleep worth it. I love witnessing the dedication, victories, and accomplishments of our Residential members. It’s inspiring.” |
