GOTR Solemates

Last spring, I came across a great non-profit organization, Girls on the Run. I thought to myself, “Hey, I’m a girl and I like to run, clearly, I need to get involved.” I signed up right away to be a coach at a local elementary school in Washington, DC. It has been such a great experience seeing these girls learn, grow, and be ready to run a 5K in 12 weeks!

We spend 12 weeks training to run a 5K, all while conducting lessons about physical, emotional, mental and social well-being. The lessons provide the girls with tools to make positive decisions and to implement healthy exercise and eating habits early on.

On March 17, 2012, I am running the Rock ‘n Roll National Half Marathon as a Girls on the Run Solemate. Currently 60% of DC girls in the program receive scholarship aid. Every girl should have the chance to be a Girl on the Run, so I am asking for your help!

• $10 pays for a GOTR water bottle
• $50 pays for a pair of shoes
• $165 pays for one girl to participate in GOTR for one season
• $2000 pays for an entire team to participate in GOTR for one season

If you can, please donate to this great program on behalf of my race!
