Broad Street Run- Students Run Philly Style's Team

As a Big Sister with the Big Brothers & Big Sisters program, I'm very passionate about the impact that mentorship can have on young people. I started running in elementary school with Girls on the Run, a program that combined mentorship with running. It's awesome to support a like minded charity like Students Run Philly Style!

Serving 1,500 youth annually, the Students Run Philly Style mentoring models pairs youth ages 12-18 with volunteer mentors. Together, youth and volunteers train alongside each other as they prepare for a full or half marathon. Since 2004 Students Run Philly Style has created a movement of healthy young people in Philadelphia--a movement that has touched multiple generations of families and impacted the lives of its participants.
