Testimonials

Support of Girls on the Run enables us to serve more girls in need - forever changing the way they see themselves and their opportunities. The feedback we have received from parents/guardians illustrates this fact. Here are just a few of the messages we have received recently:

"My daughter has had problems with running away from home, school, and community situations. She did not run away during the GOTR season."

"My daughter was never athletic until Girls on the Run. She now makes healthy choices in her eating and doesn't complain at all about getting up and being active."

"My daughter gained awareness of concepts like Negative Self Talk, etc. and the program helped her to change the way she views the world and the way she views herself in the world."

"It made her confident in herself and allowed her to be a part of a team. It was an awesome experience for her."

"My daughter developed a love of running. She also learned to believe in herself more, and passes on the chants, cheers, and encouraging words on to anybody she can, even her little sister."

"She is now more vocal in the classroom."

"She socializes more with others. She handles conflicts with more self-control. She has greater self esteem."
