TEAM LEADER: Suzanne McHenry
Suzanne, pictured above at right with Progra was born in Bryn Mawr, Pa. and spent her early childhood in Dallas, TX -- where she became a Cowboys fan. Her family then moved to South Jersey, and her parents currently reside in Damascus, MD. She has two sisters and a brother -- all of whom beside one sister live in the Philadelphia area.
She graduated from St. Joseph's University in 2007 where she ran cross country and track for the team and competed primarily in the 5K and 3K. She has been a member of Back on My Feet since October 2007 and held the team leader position three times including her current rotation. Her favorite part of the mornings are the smiles and hugs --- especially when it is cold!
