My Story…
Running for the Next Generation of Leaders 🏃♂️💨
This Summer I’ll be taking on the iconic Falmouth Road Race, which has been a bucket list race of mine for years, but this year I’m not just running for a PR, I’m running to support the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts (GSEMA)!
Why Girl Scouts?
This cause is close to my heart because it’s a huge part of my family’s life right now. My daughter is currently a daisy in a local troop and watching her grow through the program has been incredible.
In just a short time, I’ve seen her and her fellow scouts begin to:
Build Confidence: Finding their voices and learning to take the lead.
Discover Community: Understanding what it means to be a good friend and a helpful neighbor.
Embrace Adventure: Exploring the outdoors and tackling new challenges with a "can-do" spirit.
Your Impact
The Girl Scouts provide more than just badges; they provide a foundation for girls to become the leaders, innovators, and changemakers of tomorrow. By donating to my run, you are helping GSEMA ensure that every girl, regardless of her background, has access to life-changing programs, summer camps, and mentorship.
My Goal: I am looking to raise $1,500 to help fuel the dreams of scouts across Eastern Massachusetts.
Whether it’s $10 or $100, every bit helps me get across that finish line in Falmouth and helps Troop 77300 (and thousands of others) continue their journey.
Thank you for supporting me, my daughter, and the future of leadership!
Description
Building strength and confidence in girls is the cornerstone of Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts’ (GSEMA) mission. Girl Scouts allows girls the opportunity to take risks in a safe and supportive environment, challenging them to try new things and build their confidence. Armed with this assurance, girls go on to do great things: leading peers and others, innovating and forging new paths, and thinking outside the box to benefit their families, communities, and beyond. GSEMA membership is 30,000 strong, with girls and adults in 178 communities in eastern Massachusetts.
Girls gain valuable skills in the four pillars of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience: Life Skills, STEM, Entrepreneurship, and the Outdoors. The Girl Scout programming is a collection of engaging, challenging, and fun age-appropriate activities including earning badges, selling cookies, exploring science and the outdoors, and implementing community service projects.

For over 110 years, Girl Scouts has delivered diverse leadership programming to develop the next generation of strong female leaders with self-confidence and positive values who seek out challenges, maintain healthy relationships, and are committed to improving their communities and beyond. There are currently over 50 million Girl Scout alums; 60% of female members of the 117th Congress are alums, virtually every female astronaut who has ever flown in space is a Girl Scout alum, and every female secretary of state in U.S. history is a former Girl Scout- Madeleine Albright, Condoleezza Rice, and Hillary Clinton.
