Help Michaela raise money

Girls on the Run holds a very special place in my heart. I began my running journey in third grade through the program, and it sparked a love for the sport that carried me through middle school, high school, college, and now into training for my very first marathon. Running has shaped so much of who I am, building my confidence, discipline, resilience, and love for community and it all started with Girls on the Run.

I had the incredible opportunity to work as a volunteer intern with UPMC Magee-Women’s Girls on the Run throughout my time at Pitt, where I developed valuable professional skills while seeing firsthand the powerful impact this organization has on young girls. Watching participants grow in confidence and strength and seeing the vast community that supports this program inspires me so much. 

It means so much to me to be able to give back to an organization that has given me so much. Thank you for supporting me and, more importantly, for supporting the next generation of strong, confident girls!
