My name is Courtney and I am partnering with Girls on the Run Hudson Valley to sponsor me for the NYC Marathon November 2nd! It was only a couple months ago I decided to sign up for the NYC Half Marathon and my life has changed. Throughout my adolescence, I never looked forward to gym class. No one ever wanted to partner with me and I was always physically behind the rest of my peers. I resented myself and my body during the most formative years of my life. It took me well into my adult life to build this foundation I know have with my body and mental health. I’ve learned to love being active and finally grew the love to run. I never imagined I would be able to run a full mile let alone a full marathon. Please help me raise money for this amazing cause, because young girls everywhere should feel that they are capable right now. It doesnt have to be later.
