It has been a crazy summer! Right after my last post of "don't overbook yourself" my summer took off. Kids, field hockey and the daily grind - plus we are expecting another addition in the family, so we've been busy getting ready for "her" arrival too! Yes, it's a girl!

However, with the busy summer I had to take a moment to send out a post on awesome news! Sarah Campbell, a Go Girl & Co intern from 2003-04 has been out doing her part in empowering girls! Check out her latest info and pic. Oh, be gracious even to help support her cause, even $5.00 would make a difference! Cheers. More empowering posts to come on a regular basis in September I promise.

Hello everyone...

So I've decided to participate in another fundraiser. Now that I've completed a full marathon and raised over $5000 for cancer research, I've set myself a new goal. I'm going to run the VA beach 1/2 marathon... in a Tiara!!! That's right, a tiara. Tiaras aren't really my thing, but this one's for a good cause!
I've joined Team Tiara, an organization that supports Girls on the Run, which is an organization that helps set good examples for teenage girls. The goals of the programs are to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development.
The Girls on the Run objective is to reduce the potential display of at-risk activities among its participants. The goal is fewer adolescent pregnancies and eating disorders, less depression and suicide attempts, as well as fewer substance/alcohol abuse problems and confrontations with the juvenile justice system.
I think this is a great organization, and something that our society really needs! I remember how hard it is to be a teenage girl and I wish that when I was that age, I had had a program like this, with strong women role models to look up to. And now, I get to be one of those role models!
My goal is to raise AT LEAST $262 for Girls on the Run/Team Tiara by September 23rd! Please visit my fundraising page to make a donation! These young girls need our help and inspiration!!! http://www.active.com/donate/TeamTiaraBaltimore/SarahCampbell
Thank you for your support! This truly is a GREAT cause!!!
