It's that time of the year again. Time to make sure I feel at least as old as I am. This year's format is similar to last year, especially in that I'll be raising money for a great cause again. The charity I picked this year is equally close to my heart. As a software developer, I absolutely love getting to work on software every day. I want to provide others with the same opportunities I had. Women, especially, are underrepresented in software engineering. Not only that, but the trend is going in the wrong direction! We can help fix that!
On August 7th, for my 39th birthday, I plan to ride 39 miles (in my driveway, on a trainer) and run 39 km (39-1km loops around my neighborhood) to raise money for Girls Who Code. For every loop I complete I'll be donating $10 and I'd love for you guys to donate any amount you can as well! Last year Dr. Kate Biberdorf and I raised over $8K, can we do it again?!?!
Girls Who Code is on a mission to close the gender gap in technology and to change the image of what a programmer looks like and does. Our donations to Girls Who Code will help educate and equip girls to pursue opportunities in tech!
