Christopher's Place

Updated: August 10, 2010

WELCOME TO THE CHRISTOPHER PLACE TEAM PAGE!

Back on My Feet has a team associated with the Christopher Place Employment Academy, which is, according to its website, "an intensive residential program that provides education and training as well as emotional, spiritual, and addiction recovery support to formerly homeless men. We invite the participants to engage in a process of change that moves them from homelessness to permanent stable living, trains them to obtain employment, and empowers them to live a life free of drugs and alcohol."

The facility is housed at the Our Daily Bread Employment Center, which is managed by the Catholic Charities of Baltimore.

TEAM LEADER: ALEX LORD-FLYNN

Shoe Size: 7

Alex grew up in Washington State, so he represents Seahawks pride and is currently in the Coast Guard working as a facility inspector. He is also the founder of Canton Runners. Alex used to be an avid cyclist, competing in national competitions, but turned to running when going to school at Eastern Washington University. He immediately became obsessed with the sport and loved the community founded among runners. "I instantly got hooked by Back on My Feet after my first run. I originally committed to one day a week, but I realized this team is the best way to wake up! If your not having fun when running... you are doing something wrong!"
