| Young girls are bombarded daily with unhealthy messages from the media and their peers regarding body image, alcohol and drug use, social and sexual behavior, and food choices. Statistics show that girls as young as FIVE YEARS OLD form negative self-images based on their weight, and that body dissatisfaction and dieting are predictors of depression in girls.
That is why I am raising money for Girls on the Run. GOTR targets girls in third through eighth grade, when many begin to face the pressure to conform to societal standards and peer pressure. Please join me by donating to GOTR, I believe together we can make a real difference in the lives of young girls. |

| Girls on the Run is an innovative health education and wellness program that combines training for a 3.1 mile run/walk event with life-changing, self esteem enhancing lessons that encourage healthy habits and an active lifestyle for third through eighth grade girls. SoleMates is the adult charity running program of Girls on the Run. We are a team of female and male athletes who pursue individual goals, such as running a marathon, to raise money for Girls on the Run programs nationwide. Our mission is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.
