A MESSAGE FROM Jess Barnard's Fundraising Page | Bras For Girls
Your contribution makes a difference! Thank you sincerely for your generosity, care, and dedication to breaking down barriers for girls in sports.
Let's take a closer look at some of the challenges:
* 87% of girls wanted to know more about breast development.
* 44% wanted to know more about sports bras and breasts in sport.
* “I can’t find the right sports bra” and “I am embarrassed by excessive breast movement”.
I am SO PROUD to be running the NYC Marathon (my first marathon!) with Bras For Girls with the opportunity to fundraise for a mission so close to my heart. Running saved my life in a million ways. I want anyone who needs that opportunity - to have it. I'm committed to playing my part in educating, supporting, and advocating for girls to stay in sports. Together, let's rewrite those statistics.
