Tuesday, March 10, 2009

Anne Mahlum ’02, Philadelphia, Pa., is founder and president of Back on My Feet, a non-profit organization that promotes the self-sufficiency of Philadelphia’s homeless population by engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength and self-esteem. She was recently nominated for the 2008 CNN’s Hero of the Year Award. Anne, whose goal is to run a marathon in all seven continents by the time she’s 30, has two to go – she plans to tackle Australia and then Antarctica in 2010.
