Girls on the Run April 4, 2015 – July 2016

Los Angeles, CA

Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a nonprofit organization that inspires girls to be happy, healthy, and confident using a fun experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running. This program has given me so much in return. It brought me joy to empower, mentor, and coach young girls. Seeing them smile, grow, and shed tears of joy after our twelve-week training program along with the completion of our 5K race is priceless. For many of these girls, the thought of completing a 5K and having a safe space where they can express themselves, is a dream come true.
