Help Holly raise money

Dreamfar High School Marathon is New England’s first high school marathon training program.  We are a metro-Boston based program that teaches high school students that anything is possible, even completing a marathon. I have had the pleasure of leading the Newton South Dreamfar team for several years now. These students are some of the most dedicated individuals I've come across. Imagine running a marathon in high school. Picture the amount of time and mental fortitude that goes into training for a full marathon, while being a full time high school student and getting the support you need to be successful both in and out of the classroom. This is a fully supported program thanks to volunteers, mentors and educators. We teach our students realistic goal-setting and the value of commitment and teamwork. Victories, such as running their first mile, motivate and empower students to accomplish more; challenges, like training in the cold Boston winter, teach them the power of dedication.  Over the past fourteen years, we have seen significant improvements in our runners’ academic achievement, classroom attendance, physical and mental health, and life skills. Through the power of community anything is possible. 

I love that Dreamfar is about community and inclusion. All student athletes get a chance to shine together regardless of experience or learning style. I personally would have never run a marathon if it weren't for Dreamfar. The best thing I can do is give back to a program that has not only helped my students but has also helped me.

Thank you,

Holly
