BACK ON MY FEET 

Andrea Enfield is the Development Manager for the California region of Back on My Feet, a non profit that uses the power of community and accountability through fitness, alongside their robust workforce development program, to transform lives of individuals experiencing homelessness and addiction. Andrea has worked on the Back on My Feet team for three years, previously based with their New York City chapter and is joining Back on My Feet California this summer. After being challenged by an alumni member, she ran her first marathon in 2018 and hasn’t stopped running since… often training with her Back on My Feet teammates including current members, alumni, and volunteers.
