I’m deeply honored to fundraise for Girls on the Run—an organization that mirrors my own journey as a runner and as a mother. Just two years ago I laced up for the first time; today I’m running marathons and, more importantly, I’m running alongside my 13-year-old daughter and her friends. Watching them discover confidence and a positive self-image on the pavement—something I didn’t have at their age—fuels every step I take. Girls on the Run believes in that same power for young girls everywhere. When I learned they had a team for the NYC Marathon, I knew instantly: this is where I’m meant to be. I’m thrilled to be part of it, and to help the next generation cross their own finish lines with their heads high.
