My Story…
This August I’m excited to be running my first Falmouth Road Race and raising funds for Girls on the Run, an organization that empowers young girls through physical activity. I became involved with Girls on the Run in college and got to see the benefits of the program firsthand when I coached a team at a local Boys and Girls Club my senior year. Girls on the Run is more than a running program – it teaches girls in 3rd-5th grade life skills, self confidence, and healthy habits while preparing for a celebratory 5K (often complete with tutus, dancing, and a whole lot of fun!). These years are such a critical time in a girls’ childhood, when it’s important for young girls to understand they have limitless potential!
The girls on my team were all entirely participating through scholarships, funded from contributions from people like you. Thank you for supporting my Falmouth Road Race and providing girls like those I coached the ability to be a part of Girls on the Run!

Description
Girls on the Run is more than a running program. Through GOTR's program, trained coaches implement the research-based curriculum that builds lifelong healthy habits. Girls learn the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of physical activity, as well as tools for navigating the challenges of adolescence. Each season concludes with a 5K event where the girls run at their own pace, giving them a sense of achievement and a framework for setting and achieving life goals.
