A MESSAGE FROM Sophia's Fundraiser - Back on My Feet
I am so honored and excited to be running in the 2026 Broad Street 10-miler with Back on My Feet: a nonprofit that empowers people to break free from the cycles of poverty, homelessness, and/or addiction through the power of fitness, community support, and employment resources.
I first learned about Back on My Feet in high school, with my friend Mia. Although she was too young at the time to volunteer, Mia did everything she could to support and spread the message of Back on My Feet; she loved it. Mia loved running, and she saw the best in people.
It's been 4 years since Mia passed away, and if she knew I was running Broad Street, she'd probably think it was a prank! (Once upon a time we went for a run together and I threw up not even 1 mile from the house... she almost peed herself laughing).
I am so excited to be running this race, but even more excited to be supporting Back on My Feet and the community they serve.
