My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

On Sunday, February 17th, I'll be running the AT&T Austin 1/2 Marathon, in honor of Girlstart, a nonprofit organization that gets girls more interested in math, science, engineering and technology (which are typically male-dominated fields).  Many of the girls in the Girlstart program come from a single-parent home, often with five or more people living off of less than $20,000 a year.  An interest in math, science, engineering, or technology can give girls the confidence they need to finish high school, the ticket they need to get to college, and a future career that will elevate their economic situation. 

Please consider supporting Girlstart and helping me to raise my $800 fundraising target.  A donation as small as $13 (which is $1 per mile I'll run), is enough to make an impact in a young girl's life. 

Wish me luck!
Lindsey
