BFF BDay Half Marathon Fundraiser for One Girl Can
Hello Friends + Family,
This year we've decided to celebrate our birthday by doing something that felt good physically + emotionally by running a 13.1 mile half marathon to raise donations for an organization that provides scholarships to the brightest, most determined girls in need of support in Africa: One Girl Can!
We're raising $3,500 which will fully sponsor a girl for one year of university, including tuition, living expenses and laptop.
About One Girl Can:
One Girl Can is a Canadian and Kenyan registered charitable organization breaking the cycle of poverty and working to achieve gender equality through education and mentorship. The organization’s unique holistic model empowers a girl from the time she leaves primary school until the day she gains meaningful employment.
The organization is built on a foundation of three pillars that interconnect organically to alleviate gender inequality:
We Build. We Educate. We Mentor.
About our run:
Danny's birthday is on 9/5 and Mai's birthday is on 9/4 and we'll be running this half marathon the week before on Saturday, 8/28 at Seward Park at 2 pm PST. We'll send updates as we progress in the run.
Thank you everyone for helping us celebrate another rotation around the sun and the great mission of One Girl Can!
All our love + gratitude,
Mai + Danny
