The story

Founded by Anne Mahlum on Jul 3, 2007.1

Back on My Feet started in June 2007. Every morning, founder and avid runner Anne Mahlum waved hello and ran past a group of homeless men. In a few weeks, Mahlum decided to contact Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission, the homeless shelter where these men were living, and ask Executive Director Richard McMillen if she could invite the men to join her on her runs. He agreed, and the first run took place on Wednesday, July 3, 2007, with a group of nine individuals ages 28–57, who were hoping to move their lives forward both physically and spiritually through running.
