Girls on the Run is a non-profit prevention program for girls in the 3rd through 8th grade. Their mission is "to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of
self-respect and healthy living."
I recently became involved with this program by training for the Chicago Marathon with their charity running leg called Team Tiara. I also wanted to become a coach for their program at the Johnston YMCA in NODA. However fall registration rolled around and only 4 girls signed up :( Which meant that our site was canceled. If you or anyone you know is interested in a program like this I encourage you to email me back for more information or visit the Charlotte Chapter website.
