| Young girls today are bombarded with unhealthy messages from the media and their environment regarding body image, alcohol and drug use, social and sexual behavior, and food choices. Statistics show that girls as young as five form negative self-images based on their weight, and that body dissatisfaction and dieting are predictors of depression in girls. Girls on the Run targets girls in third through eighth grade, when many begin to face the pressure to conform to societal standards and peer pressure.
So SET A GOAL for yourself, CHOOSE an organized event, and JOIN US as we raise money for this county-wide program and strive to make a difference in the lives of our young girls. For more information on Girls On The Run go to www.uwsm.org/girlsontherun |
