Hello everyone! Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for Girls on the Run for the California International Marathon (CIM) 2024 .
The Girls on the Run offers programs for girls 3rd -5th grade and 6th-8th grade. Volunteer coaches teach lessons that incorporate physical activity with life skill development to enable participants to adapt to whatever comes their way. At the end of the season, the team completes a 5K together. The program reaches girls at a critical stage, strengthening their confidence at a time when society begins to tell them they can’t. Underscoring the important connection between physical and emotional health, the program addresses the whole girl when she needs it the most.
Running the CIM in partnership with Girls on the Run was a no brainer. Running has always been an integral part of my life. I can remember my first track meet in 1st grade and the excitement of the crowd cheering and sense of accomplishment in finishing the race. Through running I not only made strong friendship but also learned skills to overcome both mental and physical challenges.Now want to pass on my love of running to other younger girls and show them how to not only empower themselves but support other girls and women as well.
