Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page.   I am currently training to run the 2010 Boston Marathon for the organization  G-ROW.  G-ROW is a non-profit organization that empowers inner city girls through their involvement in the sport of rowing. These girls all attend Boston Public Schools and come to the boathouse every day after school to learn to row and get ready for college! In the Fall and Spring, they train really hard on the water to race against all of the other public schools in Massachusetts. In the winter, they train on indoor rowing machines (ergs) and focus on their studies. Their coaches, Leigh and Alice, do a really awesome job by challenging them every day, teaching them to trust and support each other, and realize that they are only limited by their own beliefs about what they can and cannot do. Through G-ROW, the girls develop healthy and active lifestyles, and they make empowering decisions about their body, health, and future. 

As a former rower and student athlete, I know how important extra-curricular activities are in fostering personal development and promoting a healthy self image for teenage girls. Your donations will make a big difference in the lives of these girls by providing them with a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow as individuals.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts.  Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
