Broad Street Run- Students Run Philly Style's Team

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. 

I chose this charity because of the positive impact running has had on my life during my adult years. I only wish I had started running earlier in life! I hope that in supporting the youth in Philadelphia, they will experience the same positive impacts that running provides.
