Hello hello and welcome to my fundraising page! If you've met me (and even if you haven't) you may know that I'm a mother of two, Keyforge player, and aspiring world traveler. But did you also know I'm an avid runner? I love listening to a good podcast (probably Keyforge or travel related) and exploring the trails near and around my home. Well this year I've decided to put all those miles to use training for the 2024 Bank of America Chicago Marathon in October as a charity athlete fundraising for Girls on the Run-Chicago!!

Girls on the Run-Chicago is a non-profit after-school program with a mission to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident. Their innovative program combines physical activity in the form of running with life skills that build positive physical and social-emotional health in participants.

Here are some of the ways GOTRC donations helps young girls:

• $35 - Provides water bottles for 46 girls • $100 - Provides 50 girls with a journal to support their growth throughout the program • $350 - Empowers a girl for an entire 10-week program session • $500 - Provides program t-shirts for 126 girls • $1,000 - Provides celebratory finisher medals for 1,075 girls

Any amount you donate will go towards these goals.

I am so proud to be a Girls on the Run-Chicago SoleMate and to have a direct impact on ensuring that GOTRC can continue to provide girls with a safe space to connect, learn, and build the skills they need to navigate the world around them, at a time when they need it most.
