I am happy to announce that I have joined Girls on the Run Rhode Island as a SoleMate. Girls on the Run is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams.

“At Girls on the Run we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained coaches lead small teams through our research-based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Over the course of the ten-week program, girls in 3rd-8th grade develop essential skills to help them navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5K event”

A SoleMate runs with a purpose and makes a difference in the life of local girls with every mile! I am planning to run two 5ks this Spring and Summer to help raise funds for these amazing programs that bring joy, health, and confidence to young girls here in Rhode Island. I also LOVE that fact that my son wants to join me. We’ve started training again now that winter, dare I say “officially”, is over. My goal is to raise $200 for this great cause, so any contribution would be greatly appreciated.
