Episode description
Katy Sherratt joins us on the podcast today to discuss the mission of Back on My Feet and the power of running to combat homelessness.
And it is quite powerful! The organization has helped more than 7,000 and every dollar invested into Back on My Feet returns $2.50 to the local community. Talk about a positive return on investment!
In this conversation, we're discussing:
- Why she initially chose to work at Back on My Feet
- What lessons she's learned from using running to combat homelessness
- How running works so well as a platform for self-improvement
- The power of community to help members escape homelessness
- Her history as a runner and what the organization is doing next
Getting up at 5:30 in the morning to run requires commitment. And for those who can commit, they'll be rewarded with a supportive community, housing and employment resources, and other tools that will help them achieve more of their goals - both on and off the road.
