S11 EP24: Miles in March for Girls on the Run
Have you heard of Girls on the Run? Cyndi Roy Gonzalez, Executive Director of GOTR Greater Boston is here to tell you all about it! GOTR is a nonprofit afterschool program for elementary and middle schools that inspires girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident. GOTR is the “why” for our Miles in March challenge fundraiser! We are crazy about GOTR! Why?...
GOTR gives girls the tools they need to make connections and deepen friendships, face challenges head on, be intentional in decision making, and give back to the community. It keeps girls moving but it’s so much more than running. It’s about inspiring girls to know they are capable of anything they put their minds to. We think GOTR is outstanding and you will too after you hear what Cyndi has to say. Tune in to learn about GOTR and join our movement challenge, Miles in March, to help us reach 100,000 miles and support GOTR!
