About Back on My Feet
Back on My Feet combats homelessness through the power of running, community support and essential employment and housing resources.
The most important thing about this program is that I got love. These people loved me until I learned to love myself again…Today, I walk with my head held higher.

It is one thing for a corporation to give money, but it is another thing to really get involved. I appreciate everything that Marriott has done for me and for Back on My Feet.

Running with people who listen, care, and cheer on has been both healing and empowering. With the help of Back on My Feet, I have grown, risen, and now I thrive.

I didn’t have to work because of my military injury, but I wanted to. The door was opened, and I walked through it, with the help and support of Back on My Feet.

I had nowhere to go but up … Back on My Feet showed me that if you show up and run and communicate with others, so many doors will open up for you.
