My daughters and I have been in GSGCNWI since my oldest was a Daisy. Our family has benefited many times from the community, friendship, and learning opportunities that being a Girl Scout can provide. My daughters have made friends, gone to camp, participated in community service projects, learned new skills and concepts, and had a lot of fun! I have been fortunate enough at times during our journey to be able to be a troop leader and cookie manager, which has been a great way that my daughters and I have been able to bond and have fun together over the years.

In the last few years, I have started running. In a similar way, I have found community and support from my fellow runners. I heard about the GSGCNWI marathon team and realized that this would be great timing for me to train for my first marathon while giving back to the organization that has meant so much to me. This combines my love of running and my thankfulness for Girl Scouts, allowing me to participate in one of the best marathons in the world.

Please help me help them by giving whatever you can using the 'Give Now' button. The more people that know about Girl Scouts GCNWI, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
