Help Back on My Feet Come to Cincinnati
Received the following in the club's email from Andrea Brooks:
Andrea is seeking assistance to bring an organization, called Back on My Feet (www.backonmyfeet.org) to Cincinnati. They are planning to expand to five cities in 2011. She has talked with them about the possibility of bringing their organization to Cincinnati, but they want to see more interest from the local Cincinnati running community.
You can check out their website for more information, but they are an organization dedicated to getting people off the streets through running. You may have heard of the group as they have been featured in the news several times.
So Andrea is reaching out to people in this area to encourage them to bring BOMF to Cincinnati! You can do so at this link: http://philadelphia.backonmyfeet.org/help-choose-the-cities-for-our-2011-expansion.html.
You will have to type in Cincinnati as an option and explain who you are and how much it would benefit our city to have something like this (It only takes a few minutes!). In 2008, more than 7,000 people were reported as homeless in Cincinnati/Hamilton County (2008 HMIS Data Report). There is no doubt that Cincinnati would benefit from this organization and Andrea is sure they could find plenty of runners (herself included) to volunteer!
