I am training to run the Philly Marathon for the second time and am raising funds for Girls on the Run! The mission of Girls on the Run is to empower girls for a lifetime of healthy living. Their program for girls in the 3rd through 8th grades inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Trained coaches use physical activity and dynamic discussions to build social, emotional and physical skills in every girl while encouraging healthy habits for life.
