I am taking the 14er Challenge for 2 reasons. First, because I believe girls have the power to do amazing things - for themselves, our communities, the planet. Girls on the Run provides girls with programs that build confidence, bring joy and promote movement at a time when mental and physical health are declining. The second reason I am compelled to participate is more personal. I'm trying to do one thing each day that makes me feel a bit scared. I've lived in CO for 19 years, am an avid hiker, but have never done a 14er! I look forward to pushing my limits and legs over the course of not only 1, but 2, 14ers.
