I was raised being told by my Dad that all of us are only 6 weeks away from experiencing homelessness. It is not an us and them problem, it is a societal problem that no one is immune from. On My Feet is an incredible local charity aiming to bridge the gap between homelessness, community and health. Their group is full of friendly, passionate and inclusive people driven by a powerful ethos and mission (more about them below).
I've always wanted to do an Ironman. It's a big scary goal with a lot of unknowns and necessary courage/commitment needed to train for 6 months to complete a 3.8k swim, 180k ride and 42.2k run. Having big goals has always been something that helps me find a zest for life. However, having a big goal that also helps to promote the good work of others and create a more inclusive society? Now, that to me that is purpose!

MORE INFO ABOUT ON MY FEET: On My Feet (www.onmyfeet.org.au) (OMF) is Perth based not for profit - whose mission is to support people experiencing or vulnerable to homelessness by providing a unique hand up rather than a hand out. OMF do this by welcoming people into a healthy exercising community (walking or running) where they regain their self-esteem, self-worth, sense of purpose and gain access to a network of caring, friendly volunteers and like-minded people. We enter those who progress well, into running and walking events (e.g. HBF Run for a Reason), which further inspires and encourages them. OMF also provides education and job readiness training in the form of workshops, to empower and prepare participants for a life of self-sufficiency. OMF work in conjunction with employment service providers to find suitable employment for participants and transform lives.
On My Feet is an Australian not-for-profit organisation which transforms the lives of those who are vulnerable and homeless by creating self-worth, a sense of purpose and self-sufficiency through employment, education and exercise focussed programs.
On My Feet offers a hand up, not a hand out.
