34: Girls with Sole - Soul Laudable

My cousin, Anne, told me she was so excited to go to her daughter's school the other night to hear the founder of Girls With Sole. Liz Ferro as in the above video, speak. Girls with Sole empowers at-risk and previously abused girls with free fitness and wellness programs. Many of us know various reasons about how important exercise is, but it is also a large part of proactive self-care for survivors of trauma and abuse. Girls with Sole has locations near Cleveland, Ohio and Charleston, South Carolina.
"Girls With Sole is free of charge for the girls. Programming includes a comprehensive curriculum, as well as, running shoes, sports bra, water bottle, race entries, and a copy of our book, Finish Line Feeling. Our curriculum is generally 6, 12, or 24 weeks in length, and provides the tools needed to Lace Up for A Lifetime of Achievement!" (http://www.girlswithsole.org)
If you want to know more about what they do, the above video provides some great insight, and if you want to know more about why, this link has more about why and some important facts: http://www.girlswithsole.org/about/why/.
Thank you, Liz for creating an amazing program.
