It is HARD to be a young girl! As a former young girl, I can attest to the necessity of strong, varied support networks and positive influence from all different directions. Girls on the Run supports girls during this foundational development stage by teaching healthy habits, fostering team connection, and building self confidence. I've seen this first hand as a coach for the Dobbs Ferry team. For GOTR after school programming, we meet multiple times a week to learn positive programming alongside a a workout and run- these cover anything from how to take on tough challenges to navigating friendships. At the end of the season, girls from all across the area meet for a 5K to celebrate their season of training alongside their peers. Your donation will support all of the ins and outs of being able to deliver this impact.
This is my first ever marathon(!) so your donations will also be great encouragement for my sore muscles. (:
Please visit the GOTR website for more information about their wonderful- and critical- programming for girls all over the country.
