Monday, October 22, 2007 Make A Difference Monday: Help Me Raise Money for Girls On The Run

You know, I'd like to think if an organization such as Girls on the Run had existed when I was in middle school, then maybe, just maybe, things might have been different. As it is, I've discovered running now, and I know the improvements I've seen in myself since I've began. I want to share this joy, and better yet, I want to share it at a level where I (and others) can make a difference in a child's life. That's why I joined Team Tiara, and I'm raising money for Girls on the Run.

What is Girls on the Run? From their website: (http://www.girlsontherun.org/) Girls on the Run is a non-profit prevention program that encourages preteen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running. Our curricula address all aspects of girls' development - their physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual well-being.

Wow! Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? And a good friend of mine has her daughter running in Girls on the Run, and she can vouch for the positive influence it is in her daughter's life.

Will you help me? I'd like to raise $262.00 by 12/01/07, which is the date of the Wondergirl 5K, a race to benefit this organization which is also held in my hometown.

You can donate several ways.

Online: Visit my personal fundraising page here: http://www.active.com/donate/TeamTiara2007/ttMWilson1

If you'd prefer to send a check or money order please email me at mary@marywinter.com for more information. Or, you can also use paypal to that same address. Don't worry - 100% of the money raised will go to this organization.

I had my epiphany at the age of 30. I'd love it if together, we can help girls develop healthy habits now, so they don't have to deal with weight/health/self-esteem issues later.

Run on!
