Member Spotlight
Our  member of the month   is Ricky
a  dedicated runner with Team Bridge!



Ricky has been a member of Team Bridge for four months and has run over 100 miles with Back on My Feet! He has maintained 100 percent attendance and has run over 50 times with his team, including his very first 5K last month, where he finished in just under 25 minutes! When he isn't at his temporary job, he promotes Back on My Feet in any way that he can! In fact, he volunteered at the Hot Chocolate 5K's packet pickup just last week! Ricky and his wife are currently living at The Bridge, but are hopeful that they will find permanent employment soon.
