great running groups to support on giving tuesday

November 30, 2021      4 Comments

Happy Giving Tuesday! Giving Tuesday is an incredible global initiative, created to inspire people to give to others. That giving can come in the form of time, money, promotion. or support, so today, I’m sharing some of the groups in our running community that could use a little love on this special day. If you are so inclined, please supporting these (or any organization) that inspires you on this special day of giving.

Girls On The Run (Local or National)

I often mention Girls On The Run as a fantastic charity for the running community. GOTR prides itself on inspiring “girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.” Programming caters to girls in elementary and middle school, and help is needed on both the national and local level. You may donate here, and you may request more information about volunteering here.

Ainsley’s Angels of America

Ainsley’s Angels of America is another national program with a focus on running. Its goal is to ensure that everyone can participate in endurance events, and it seeks to bring awareness to the special needs community through inclusion, serving as advocates to provide education, and participating as active members in local communities. This message oof inclusivity deserves support, and you can do so by donating here or by joining the family as a runner, a rider, or guardian angel (volunteer).

Team Red White & Blue

Team RWB is another national group with local chapters, which deserves a spotlight today. The organization works to assist veterans. It believes that athletic events combined with social support can help combat isolation and health challenges for our veterans. Team RWB commits itself to the wellness of our heroes and serves them through inclusive activity and a sense of community. If you are interested in donating, click here, and if you would like to volunteer, click here.

Runners 4 Recovery

Runners 4 Recovery is a Jacksonville group, dedicated to helping individuals with addiction problems via sports. The program offers training and support for those dedicated to recovery and healing. These athletes work hard to commit to running and a new lifestyle, and it’s incredible to see the program grow and evolve through the years. To help, you may donate here. For more information, you may reach out to the organization here.

Marathon High

Another local group that deserves mention is Marathon High. This non-profit works with at-risk teens in the Northeast Florida area, providing a four month program centered on leadership, goals, service, self-respect, teamwork, and wellness. At the end oof the four months, these teens should be ready to run a half marathon distance. Student athletes appear at local events, as runners, and volunteers, and their presence has become a welcome staple in the community. Consider supporting them financially here, or give the gift of your time here.

    It’s a great idea to combine your passion for running with donating to a cause close to your heart.
    Here in South Africa, there are many charities that are supported by runners. There’s an enormous need.

    The economy is at an all-time low and no doubt will continue to be very weak in 2022, especially with the new variant keeping tourists away.

    I have supported Girls on the Run. But my favorite is STEM. It’s women survivors of domestic violence.

    All of these groups are amazing. I’ve supported Girls on the Run in the past. Thanks for reminding me- I’ve been so busy I forgot about Giving Tuesday!

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
