Hi everyone! Thank you to those of you who have already donated and supported me in so many ways through this journey! I am one month away from race day and still having SO much fun striving for this goal of mine! There have been challenges, hard days, and many more joyous days. Proving to myself that I am capable has been one of my favorite parts, and proves the importance of all that Strong Girls United stands for. I feel lucky to be involved with this organization. My other favorite part has been truly feeling the impact that so many of you (many of you strong girls and women!!) have had on me. Many of you have shown me how to go after my goals whole-heartedly, how to overcome challenges, how to embrace community, how to find joy in the work, and most of all how to believe in myself. To my Mom, Sisters, family, and friends. To my mentors and coaches. To Dani for training with me and who is about to CRUSH her own marathon this weekend. To my dear friend turned family who passed away a year ago, and the rest of her family who has shown me more love and support than I could imagine. To Xander for cheering me on and keeping me going. All of you are on my mind on these runs, and will definitely be on my mind on race day. All of you have empowered me to be here in this journey. All of you mean so much to me and I cannot say thank you enough! I’m feeling ready to take on this last month, let’s do this thing! 💕

A MESSAGE FROM Shayla’s Fundraiser for Strong Girls United!
As a former college athlete I have experienced first hand the power of having incredible female mentors, teammates, and friends. Strong Girls is near to my heart for all of the ways that it empowers girls to be strong, confident, and resilient in sports and in life.

I have been involved with Strong Girls since 2020, when I was paired with my first mentee! Since then I have had 2 mentees, and was able to bring Strong Girls U to Bowdoin College where I could share this special program and mission with numerous female athletes and local girls.

Personally, it has brought me a few special relationships and some influential practices that have changed my mindset when I face challenges. My favorite mantra: “be where your feet are”. 

I am so very excited to have this opportunity to raise money and run the New York City Marathon for Strong Girls United! I appreciate your support 🩷
