My Story…
Thank you for considering donating to FAB today. All money from our She Can We Can 5K Run/Walk will help us continue to offer our program free to 150+ youth girls living in Hamilton’s priority neighbourhoods.
Sport teaches us so many important things that help us navigating life. It teaches us that you get out of it, what you put into it, that the secret is discipline, not motivation, to embrace failure and celebrate the small wins, and that you are absolutely capable of more than you think you are.
During our 12-week program, we would teach participants how to take a big goal like finishing a 5K that seemed so far out of reach and break it down into baby steps. We encourage them to learn from the things that don’t go well and how to adjust for the next attempt. And we share how the steps they were taking to train for their 5K can be used to chase any dream in life. Some quotes from FAB participants on what this looks like after our program:
- Because of FAB, I am capable of anything I put my mind to.
- Because of FAB, I learned to set meaningful goals based on me.
- Because of FAB, I believed I could, so I did.
Thank you for helping us make this magic happen.
P.S. We'd love to have you join us! Please consider registering for our 5K run/walk. Simply select the "Join my team" link to the right.
Description
Together we can make amazing things happen! The She Can, We Can 5K is an important fundraiser for Fit Active Beautiful Foundation’s FAB Girls 5K Challenge Program. The FAB Girls 5K Challenge Program is a free 12-week running program that challenges girls in grades 6-8 living in lower-income communities in Hamilton to train for and complete a 5K run. The program is free and uses running as a vehicle to teach and inspire youth girls to dream big and live big by developing the goal setting skills and confidence to live an empowered life. Not only is the program free for youth girls to join, but each FAB girl also receives a new pair of running shoes, a training shirt, healthy snacks at each session, a goal setting journal and transportation and entry into local races and program events. Thank you for your donation and support.
