Girls on the run

Bill Hague's Chicago Marathon Fundraising Page

Helping "Girls On The Run Chicago"

Friends: Thanks for taking the time to check out my fundraising page for the 2010 Chicago Marathon! My last marathon was way back in 1998. However, I had an epiphany during a long May bike ride to Lake Geneva, WI that I probably have one more competitive long run in this aging body. My training is going really well so far but there is one area where I need to ask for your help: to raise funds for a noble cause, "Girls On The Run Chicago". Check out their mission statement below. As a dad who started & coached the track and cross country program at our children's elementary/middle school, I feel this is a very important cause to support. I saw firsthand how running with a group gives young women a stronger sense of identity, a greater acceptance of themselves, a healthier body image and an understanding of what it means to be part of a team. I hope you agree and click on the button to support their program and my marathon. Thank you! Bill

SoleMates is the charity running program for Girls on the Run. Girls on the Run is a life-changing, experiential learning program for girls age eight to thirteen years old. The programs combine training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. The goals of the programs are to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, and physical development. Our mission is to educate and prepare girls for a life time of self-respect and healthy living. Please check out our website at www.girlsontherunsolemates.org/.
