Back on My Feet Founder Will Speak at TEDxKC
Six years ago, Anne Mahlum, Back on My Feet's Founder, decided to defy the
impossible by starting Back on My Feet to help individuals experiencing
homelessness through running. Her impossible idea has grown Back on My
Feet to 10 chapters nationwide (Back on My Feet Los Angeles will be the 11 th
chapter later this year) and has helped more than 900 Residential Members
(individuals experiencing homelessness) obtain employment!
We are very excited to announce Anne will get the opportunity to speak about defying the impossible
at TEDx Kansas City (TEDxKC) on August 20! TED is a nonprofit organization that believes that the
power of ideas can help change attitudes, lives and even the world! TED will stream the entire event online at TEDxKC.org and we will share the link on our social media We invite you to post your thoughts and comments on our Facebook page or Twitter!
Almost There Walter!
Back on My Feet Washington DC Alumni Member, Walter, is in the final stretch of training
before he tackles the Leadville Trail 100 Run! In the past week, Walter has been able to complete 77
miles in just over 15 hours.
In anticipation of running this month, Walter eagerly said, "In between injures, change of weather and
dealing with other conditions, I will feel pretty good that I have given it my all!"
After Walter completes this incredible feat, he will be scaling back his training to run the Marine Corps
Marathon. Good luck Walter, you have worked incredibly hard and have the passion to make it to the
finish line!
Back on My Feet Chicago Conquers the Ragnar Relay Series
If you've ever pulled an all‐nighter, you can imagine how hard it might be to
run 20 miles with no sleep ‐ and the staff of Back on My Feet Chicago recently
did just that. They decided to run the daunting Ragnar Relay Chicago, which
covers 195 miles from Madison, WI to Chicago, IL and lasts for two days and
one night.
The BoMF Chicago team said they would run Ragnar again "if we took a team
beach vacation the week after." The team came in 11th in their division of 250
teams and raised nearly $7,000 for Back on My Feet. Way to go Back on My
Feet Chicago!
