This is my 3rd year participating in Gourdy's Pumpkin Run and fundraising for Girls on the Run as part of their Empowerment Patch!
Did you know that girls’ self-confidence begins to drop by age 9? Or that physical activity levels decline starting at age 10 and continues throughout adolescence?
With your help, it doesn’t have to be this way. By donating you will be helping transform the lives of girls who participate in this program.
This has become a way for me to do something good for me (the 5K run/walk) and doing something good in the world - for the girls who need encouragement to embrace their own power.
10-year-old Girls on the Run participant Layla recently shared: "Girls on the Run taught me about self-confidence. Now, I won't let anybody take my power away from me."
The need for Girls on the Run is great so I set my fundraising goal to help more girls participate in the Girls on the Run program.
Will you help? Donations of any amount will help me reach my goal! Many thanks for supporting me in any way.
