I am participating in Gourdy's Pumpkin Run and fundraising for Girls on the Run as part of their Empowerment Patch! Did you know that girls’ self-confidence begins to drop by age 9? Or that physical activity levels decline starting at age 10 and continues throughout adolescence? With your help, it doesn’t have to be this way. By donating to my fundraiser for Girls on the Run, you will truly transform the lives of girls.
When I was a kid, I constantly worried about how I looked, how I dressed, and whether I was “too much” or “not enough.” I hid parts of myself because I didn’t feel like I belonged. I was insecure, self-conscious, and unsure of my place in the world. It took years to unlearn those feelings—and even now, I carry the memory of that little girl who just wanted to feel confident in her own skin.
That’s why this matters.
10-year-old Girls on the Run participant Layla recently shared: "Girls on the Run taught me about self-confidence. Now, I won't let anybody take my power away from me."
The need for Girls on the Run is great and I have set my fundraising goal so that more girls can participate in Girls on the Run. Your donation will help ensure that more girls like Layla learn to embrace their power. Can I count on your support?
PS- Donations of any amount will help me reach my goal. Beyond making a donation, consider joining Gourdy's Pumpkin Run Empowerment Patch to even further promote Girls on the Run and make a difference alongside me!
