On May 9th, I will be participating in the Girls on the Run 5K with Girls on the Run of Southeastern Michigan. Why am I doing this? Because Girls on the Run is important to me! Abby got into the program last year and loved it so much. It had such a good impact on her, it was so much more than just a running club. If you are not familiar with Girls on the Run, please let me share a little bit about it with you now. Dedicated to a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential, Girls on the Run has impacted the lives of millions of girls across the country through a fun and effective afterschool program designed to enhance girls’ social, emotional, and physical skills and behaviors to successfully navigate life experience. If there is one thing I want to emphasize to you it is that Girls on the Run is for every girl. Physical activity—including running and strength & conditioning—is woven into lessons but the program is accessible to all girls regardless of athletic ability or fitness level.
Why do I need your help? Well, in order to reach all girls and ensure that Girls on the Run is accessible to any girl who wishes to participate, my goal is to raise $225 so that more girls here in Southeastern Michigan can participate in this life-changing program. The money goes to sponsor girls who need it, and not just covering the registration or 5k. They also donate running shoes to any girl who can't afford it, so no one who participates has to go without.
Will you consider making a donation? Every dollar makes a big difference and I can only reach my goal with your support! By supporting Girls on the Run, you are demonstrating your belief in me and in a world where ALL girls know and activate their limitless potential and are free to boldly pursue their dreams. Thank you in advance for your support.
Thank you so much for any help,
Katee
