Guest Speaker, Chris Baylow

A big thank you goes out to Chris Baylow from New England Disabled Sports! Chris came to Fit Girls last Thursday to talk about NEDS and also to explain where the money raised will be going. Chris is a Marbleheader and a NEDS volunteer at Loon Mountain. NEDS has over 1,000 athletes participating per season and is appreciative of every dollar donated. From the bake sale alone, we raised over $600 and will continue to raise even more through the 5K sponsor pledges! This money will go directly back into the NEDS program-funding equipment and volunteer training.

Color Wars

Thursday was Color War day at Fit Girls.  The girls were broken up into small teams led captained by our great crew of girls from the Marblehead High School lacrosse team.  Each team was identified by color.  The teams had to RUN around completing a list of tasks, most of which included a physical activity.  All the while, the "mean girls" were trying to catch up with them to steal their checklists so they'd have to start the activities over.  It's always a fun day, and the girls don't even realize how much running they are doing because they are laughing so much!  Congratulations to the Purple Team who completed the tasks in the most timely of fashions!

Have a great weekend, Fit Girls!  Don't forget to get outside and MOVE!

Spring Update

Fit Girls Run Club is well on its way preparing for the May 31st 5k, but the girls are doing a lot more than running! This week they voted on two charities which Fit Girls will support; New England Disabled Sports and Marblehead All Sports Foundation were the winners. 

A little bit about both- New England Disabled Sports provides adaptive instruction to adults and children with mental and physical disabilities. Their programs allow individuals with disabilities to enjoy outdoor recreation with friends and family, as well as provide access to equipment and instruction that might otherwise be unavailable. Marblehead All Sports Foundation is an organization that is designed to regularly provide funding for athletic facilities in Marblehead. Their most current project is raising money for a new track at Village School. 

 In addition to their hard work and charitable thinking- Fit Girls helped with a

"promposal"

She said yes!!
