Last year, I ran my first Girls on the Run 5K alongside my daughter. I thought I was there to support her—but somewhere along the course, I realized she was pulling me forward. She was chasing confidence. And I was chasing her.
This fall, our family’s connection to GOTR is growing even deeper.
Not only am I participating in several 5Ks to raise awareness and support for this incredible program, I’m also in the process of becoming a GOTR coach—hopefully right at the intermediate school where our oldest daughter will train again.
And there’s more:
Our youngest daughter will be joining the program this year as it launches at her elementary school. That means I’ve got two girls chasing confidence now—and I’m just trying to keep up.
This fundraiser kicks off today and runs through June 2026. Every step, every dollar, and every cheer helps build up young girls like mine—and countless others in our community.
👉 With your gift, you are helping a girl unleash her limitless potential.
You are giving her a place where she feels accepted and understood, a place where she can connect with her peers, gain confidence, and discover her true power and potential. A place where she belongs.
Thank you for helping me support this mission—one mile, one girl, one life-changing moment at a time.
