"This is my third season as a Girls on the Run coach. I don't have time, I've never really been a kid person and I have dozens of other ways to give back to the community. But watching the girls gain confidence, become athletes and radiate the GOTR spirit each season draws me back in to do it again. Their sense of accomplishment and just plain joy is irresistible." - Jennifer Ratcliffe, Coach
"I have to say that completing the 5k run in November has made a huge impact on both my daughter and me. Although I am 38 years old, I had trouble visualizing myself completing the run. I actually tried to make excuses not to run. My daughter and I were both able to encourage each other and the other girls. We have continued to run, with each mile, with each better time, we build confidence in ourselves and admiration for each other. Girls on the Run makes such an impact on all lives it touches." - Teresa Guerrereo, Coach
