We at Phillyist are longtime fans of local nonprofit Back On My Feet, and now the organization is poised to be a national favorite as well. Founder Anne Mahlum was selected as one of ten finalists in CNN's "Hero of the Year" search for her work with BOMF. The program focuses on giving homeless people in Philadelphia “a sense of community and accomplishment through physical fitness,” and includes daily runs, sponsorships for races, even help with job training and employment. In the short time it's been around (the inaugural morning run was in July 2007) the group has swelled to over 50 homeless members and more than 250 volunteers.
