With the help of a local nonprofit, 1,200 girls from all over the Puget Sound Region are preparing to complete a goal they set eight weeks ago: finish a 5k. Girls on the Run of Puget Sound is a program for girls in the third through fifth grade that encourages healthy habits for life while teaching social and emotional lessons. As the program goes on, participants focus on their personal growth while working toward the final event. "It's your own personal goal, and it's so great to see girls... just always increasing their goals," said Izzy Geronimo, Events and Outreach Manager for Girls on the Run of Puget Sound.KING 5's Jessica Janner-Castro talks more with Geronimo about how the program builds girls' confidence and the benefit of pairing social-emotional lessons with physical activities.Girls on the Run of Puget Sound: https://www.gotrpugetsound.org/Donate: https://www.gotrpugetsound.org/DonateVolunteer: https://www.gotrpugetsound.org/Volunteer
