Every day, these smart, passionate people work hard to help Let Me Run reach and inspire as many boys as possible.
After having children, running became a big part of my life for health reasons and to manage stress. Our family has always enjoyed being active outdoors and running was introduced to our boys at young ages. I've seen first-hand the before and after of how running and an active lifestyle positively impacts mood and behavior in my own children. I feel grateful to be part of such a great program that aids in developing social, emotional and physical health for our youth.
As a mom of a pre-teen boy, I know first-hand there just aren't programs out there that teach boys the valuable socio-emotional tools that they need to become men that can process their feelings in a healthy, constructive way. Let Me Run does just that. Utilizing running as a tool, Coaches teach boys discipline and all the constructive ways to express emotions. As a mom I also appreciate the commitment of 6-7 week seasons so that children can experience a variety of different activities during their childhood. As a coach myself, I know that bodies that know how to express anger or sadness with a vehicle such as running do not become bodies that hurt others and that is so important with the rise in violence among young people. That is why when I had the opportunity to help Let Me Run, I said, "Yes!"
