Get Fit While Helping OthersWritten By Member Mark F.
I am involved with a group here in Indy called Back on My Feet. Back on My Feet is a national organization and the local chapter works with three homeless shelters. The mission of Back on My Feet is to promote the self-sufficiency of homeless populations by engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength and self-esteem.
The premise is pretty simple, get a group of people together 3 days a week (mon, wed, fri) at 5:45 am and go for a run. Like anything through time bonds are made and lives are changed. It is truly one of the most rewarding groups I have ever been a part of and any and all are welcome. If folks are interested they can feel free to contact me or visit the website (http://www.backonmyfeet.org/) for more information.
The other item I thought worthwhile to pass along is there is a fund raising race the Indianapolis chapter puts on in October (so a little ways out). It is a 42K relay race and details can be found here:http://indianapolis.backonmyfeet.org/back-on-my-feet-42k-relay.html. (Let’s get a CrossFit NapTown Relay Team!!!)
