Thank You!


Thank you SO much for all of your support over the past few months leading up to last weekend's half-marathon. Last Sunday, I ran 13.1 miles in support of Girls on the Run, and while I had set a lofty fundraising goal, thanks to your incredibly generous donations, we topped it, raising $1447! Because of this, NINE young girls will have the opportunity to participate in Girls on the Run next spring.  
Despite the forecast of rain, race day turned out to be beautiful. The atmosphere was fun and celebratory, and the course was 2+ loops around an island, making it easy for spectators (including my incredibly supportive husband - thank you Ryan!) to get around to cheer. In addition to your donations to GOTR, I appreciate the well wishes, texts, and calls leading up to race day. Your support truly did help me to cross the finish line that day, and to feel good about the work I put in to get there. 
The mission of Girls on the Run is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident.
