One of my favorite organizations is Girls on the Run. The local chapter was started by runner and mom-extraordinaire Paula Hunstman. Their mission is, "Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a non-profit prevention program that encourages preteen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles. Through interactive activities such as running, playing games and discussing important issues, participants learn how to celebrate being girls. The program focuses on building self-esteem and improving emotional and physical health. During the 6-12 week program, girls are empowered with a greater self-awareness, a sense of achievement and a foundation in team building to help them become strong, contented and self-confident women."
Their annual Family Fitness 5K and 1-mile walk are on June 8. You can learn more about GOTR and register for the race at http://www.otsegocountygotr.org/.
