Coach Brittany Taussig from Jana Elementary shared her How and Why at the Girls on the Run Giving Tuesday event at Parkers Table. Girls on the Run comes to life because of coaches like Brittany, who ensure girls have a safe, inclusive space at practice, even when circumstances are challenging. 

"Throughout my eight years in education, I have chosen to make a commitment to coach a Girls on the Run team twice every single school year, once in the fall and once in the spring. Even in the midst of some incredibly unique challenges that were presented during this past season, I wanted to make sure there was still a Girls on the Run team."

A Message from Honorary Race Chair, Dr. Matifadza Hlatshwayo Davis, MD, MPH

Practicar deportes puede hacer maravillas en la confianza, la vida social y la salud de una niña. Como ocurre con todo, algunas niñas serán más hábiles que otras, pero eso no significa que no deban intentarlo. Para bien o para mal, al probar diferentes actividades, las niñas podrán descubrir más sobre sí mismas, qué les hace felices y qué opciones les gustaría elegir en el futuro.

Beber suficiente agua cada día es una parte fundamental de la salud humana, por lo que el agua es la mejor opción de bebida para todos, incluidas las niñas en edad de crecimiento. Aunque a veces puede ser más tentador recurrir a una bebida azucarada o con cafeína, si optas por el agua, tu cuerpo te lo agradecerá siempre.
