I will encourage our kiddos to stay active and participate if they want to (I hope they do!) but as a former swimmer I know how awesome sports are and how it can really help girls to have a positive support system and boost self esteem. When these days come, I will be ready with my big old tube of Topricin pain cream and forever cheering them on in the bleachers! I am such a believer in athletic programs for girls.

My students in NC participated session after session in the program and I've had the honor of supporting the Puget Sound, WA council in their fundraising efforts . It is exciting to see how the program touches the lives of the girls and the community around them in so many positive ways! I’ve seen first-hand how powerful the Girls on the Run program is.
