Haleigh’s 2025 Honolulu Marathon Fund for Back on My Feet

Hi! I’m Haleigh Hockenberry, and I’m thrilled to be running my first-ever marathon this December — the 2025 Honolulu Marathon in beautiful Hawaii! This isn’t just about finishing 26.2 miles — it’s about running with purpose and making every step count.

I’m raising funds for Back on My Feet, an incredible nonprofit that has been transforming lives since 2007. Operating in 16 cities across the U.S., Back on My Feet uses the power of fitness, community, and employment resources to break the cycles of homelessness, poverty, and addiction. They believe — just like I do — that movement can be a powerful catalyst for change.

As a nursing student at the University of Miami, I’ve come to cherish running as my escape — a way to reset, refocus, and reconnect with myself. It’s where I find balance, strength, and peace. I made a commitment to myself this January to complete my first marathon this year — and I’m doing it! Not just for me, but for those fighting to rebuild their lives with courage and determination.

Your support helps Back on My Feet make a real difference by contributing to:

‍♂️ Essential fitness programs that promote health and well-being

Job training and employment resources that empower individuals

Supportive communities that foster connection and resilience

My fundraising goal is $1,000 by November 30 — and every donation, big or small, brings us closer to creating lasting change.

Together, we can help lift others up, one mile at a time.

Thank you so much for supporting this journey — and for helping others take the first step toward a brighter future.

With gratitude,

Haleigh
