95-min Long bRUNch with Crystal Gaines & Kristen Gordon of Girls on the Run of Central Florida

Hello, friends,

We can feel the excitement around this weekend's bRUNch. With so many folks gearing up for either runDisney Wine & Dine weekend of the New York City Marathon, we are excited to cheer on all runners and bRUNchers alike. 

This weekend's bRUNch, we sat down with Crystal Gaines, Executive Director, and Kristen Gordon, a board member from Girls on the Run Central Florida as they gear up to head to Disney to support SoleMates.

We learn about the GOTRCFL mission and how to support this incredible organization!

In 2016, an independent study of Girls on the Run found:

• Girls who were least active when they started the program increased their overall physical activity by more than 40%
• 85% of girls said they improved in 1 or more of the 5 Cs: confidence, competence, caring, character, or connection
• 97% of girls said they learned critical life skills

However, you don't have to run a runDisney race or even run to support this incredible organization - 

• Learn how to volunteer
• Become a coach
• Start a team

And don't forget Coach Christine will buy you a Gideon's cookie and deliver it to you if you volunteer to help the GOTRCFL End of Season 5k on Dec. 4th.
