Dear friends,
I am so happy to emerge from a 15 year race hiatus (!!!!) to return to one of my favorite races this spring, the Broad Street Run… and even more excited to fund race to support Students Run Philly Style.
I remember as a kid struggling to run even one lap around the track… only to finally embrace running my senior year of high school. I wish I had learned about this incredible sport earlier, as it offers so much for both physical and mental wellness - so I am honored to help raise funds to encourage Philly kids to explore running, as they are our future!
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.
Thank you so much for considering a donation to this tremendous local cause - so grateful to be part of this run!
