As someone who has grown up in Canton, Ohio, an avid runner, and as a mom with two little girls at home (and another girl on the way!), I am proud to be on the Board of such an outstanding and impactful organization. As a mother of girls, I am even more passionate about creating a world where my daughters, and all girls, have the tools they need to become strong, confident, and courageous.
This program not only assists young girls in a physical sense, but most importantly, in an emotional sense. The curriculum inspires youth to recognize their inner strength, increase their level of physical activity, imagine their possibilities, and confidently stand up for themselves and others. Witnessing the 5k celebrations has been an absolute joy and watching the girls come out and have fun after completing the program is such a reward.
Through this campaign, I'm rallying my friends, family, and supporters to help raise funds that will directly impact the girls in our community. I hope to continue to help this program grow and flourish for years to come as I truly believe it plays an impactful role on our community and specifically with young children. Funds from this campaign will support the end-of-season celebration and/or practice 5K for our GOTR Girls and Coaches. Thank you for giving our GOTR Girls a place where they feel supported and inspired to explore their emotions, cultivate empathy and strengthen their physical and emotional health.
Together, let's help them run their own race, lead with courage, and change the world!
