Girls on the Run

Have you heard of Girls on the Run (GOTR)? If you have, then you already know why I'm so proud to be a part of such an amazing organization. For those of you less familiar, here's what GOTR is all about:

"We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running."

In a nutshell, GOTR provides a curriculum and activities for young girls from 3rd to 8th grade that promotes confidence, healthy habits, honesty and friendship. I wish it existed when I was in school. It's so much more than a running club!

This fall, I applied for and accepted a position on the GOTR of Hamilton County (Ind.) board of directors. I'm thrilled to be a part of this organization and look forward to volunteering in various ways.

For those of you in the greater-Indianapolis area, I encourage you to sign up for our GOTR 5K on Nov. 16, 2013. It is a run/walk for the entire family at Saxony in Fishers. Visit www.GOTRHamiltonCounty.org to sign up today! All proceeds go to GOTR.

Feel free to comment any questions about the organization or upcoming 5k.
