WHY:

1. TO HAVE FUN, CHALLENGE YOURSELF AND DEDICATE SOME TIME TO YOU AND YOUR HEALTH. A 2.5 MILE WALK, RUN, OR WALK/RUN PERFORMED IN A WAY THAT PUSHES YOU OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND MAKES YOU PROUD IS A POWERFUL PART OF YOUR SELF CARE. COME JOIN OTHER WOMEN IN THIS JOURNEY OF MAKING TIME FOR OURSELVES AND BE PROUD OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

2. TO SUPPORT OUR LONG ISLAND YOUTH IN DEVELOPING SELF CONFIDENCE, LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND AN UNDERSTANDING OF GIVING BACK THROUGH COMMUNITY WORK. FUNDS RAISED THROUGH THE NON-PROFIT, KIDS RUN LONG ISLAND, ARE USED FOR YOUTH SCHOLARSHIPS AND LI YOUTH COMMUNITY GRANTS AS WELL AS DONATIONS TO HELP FAMILIES WITH A FAMILY MEMBER DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER.

2.5 MILE WALK, RUN OR WALK/RUN, DEPENDING ON WHAT IS A CHALLENGE FOR YOU! WE ARE COMING TOGETHER AS STRONG WOMEN TO GET HEALTHY AND HAVE FUN!
