BoMF provides a community that embraces equality, respect, discipline, teamwork and leadership. All members - regardless of race, education or socioeconomic status - join together to move their own lives forward as well as the lives of their teammates."

Running gave me a community in DC, a circle of like-minded (ahem, slightly crazy in our own great ways) friends and a way to explore this city on foot. I wouldn't trade a single mile for anything, and I'm lucky enough to hope that I have thousands of miles left in these legs. Rather than signing up for yet another race "for fun", I wanted this one to have more purpose! BoMF has been instrumental not only in the lives of those experiencing homelessness, but also for those who join the early morning runs, the events and the races. Having worked with them in various ways this Fall, I see firsthand that they're making a difference for at least one person - often a group of people - every day!

The donation list shows ways in which various amounts of money help the individuals in the program, giving us an idea of how far our dollars can help someone progress.

Thank you for your help!!
