My 8 year old daughter did her first 5K last week and had a blast. I asked her how she felt at the end and she said "Amazing!". GOTR will be conducting a program at her school next year. I have been a runner for years and we are both excited and can't wait to be able to share this together now! Way to go! My 8 year old daughter did her first 5K last week and had a blast.

I, too, would love to meet you and Molly someday. GOTR is an outstanding organization/program! for both girls and moms alike. Moving our bodies is absolutely where it's at! Keep up the fantastic work and participation!! :) Hi Andrea!

I coached GOTR for 7 seasons at 2 different schools and it was such an amazing experience! The girls had a blast, but I think I had the most fun watching them evolve from only being able to walk a few laps to actually finishing a 5K race, coming across that finish line and wearing their medals. How cool to be in 3rd grade and already have run a 5K! In addition, many of the moms got into the training, as well, when their daughters were running circles around them! GOTR is a truly fantastic organization! Andrea, I am so happy to read your article on GOTR! I coached GOTR for 7 seasons at 2 different schools and it was such an amazing experience!

We always donate nutrition services for Seattle's annual spring fundraiser. Having something like this available to me as a child would have radically improved my teen years and we always look forward to supporting them annually! Girls on the Run is a fantastic organization!

At age 51 I am just starting to jog, just did my first 5K last weekend, and experiencing the benefits this form of exercise brings me. Props to getting girls to discover such empowerment at an early age while keeping them active. Great post.

Molly, I was just going to forward this to you - a wonderful article, Andrea! I'm thrilled that the school my daughter will be going to next year has this program in place. Our mission here at ChildLight Yoga is very similar - to empower children to take charge of their health - mind, body and spirit. Molly IS an inspiration, a lovely and generous human being. She lives the mission of GOTR and shares her knowledge with those looking to do similiar work with kids. Andrea, congrats on your business and cheers to you for passion for your volunteer work with Girls on the Run! This is great!

I'm so excited to "meet" you! I've been following your progress since I first heard about GOTR years ago - I think in Runner's World. You are a huge inspiration and I really hope to meet you live one day soon. Hi Molly!! I’m so excited to “meet” you!

I founded Girls on the Run in 1996 to provide girls with an opportunity to celebrate their bodies, rather than objectify them! You get it sister. You "GET IT"!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your passion, your time and your SELF with the girls of the world. We are lucky to have you as part of our Girls on the Run movement. I look forward to meeting you one day... Andrea: Thank you SO much for sharing what is clearly your amazing understanding of Girls on the Run.
