My wife & co-fundraiser reviewed the list of charities and recommended Girls on the Run Boston. After reviewing their website, I agreed they were an excellent choice.
Girls on the Run is a life-changing, non-profit program for girls in the 3rd through 8th grade. Their mission is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.
The mission of Girls on the Run is the same mission my wife and I have for our daughter, Sienna. Sienna loves to run and we are trying to nurture that passion. We both feel physical activity helps provide a healthy balance in a person's life. The fact that she has found something that makes her happy and fulfills something within her at such an early age is a blessing. One of my favorite things is to watching her run, because she looks so free.
Not every girl is going to have the same opportunities that my daughter will have and that is why I think this charity is important. If you would like to donate, please visit the link below:
