On Saturday, Allana’s Girl Scout Troop hosted an anti-bullying 5K fun run, “Run 4 Respect” to earn their Bronze Award. Advertised and publicized solely by word of mouth, the inaugural event had 125 registered runners.
Over the past few months, the girls planned every aspect of the event: the route, the signage, their shirts, awards, finisher ribbons, refreshments and entertainment.
For the entertainment, there was a DJ, a bouncy castle, a face painter and a volunteer to make balloon animals, a first for any race I’ve attended!
Allana selected me to serve as a cheerleader along the course and I wore my green tutu just for the occasion. I thought the color coordinated nicely with the Girl Scout’s t-shirts, but the color would also keep the runner’s spirits bright.
The troop invited Mrs. Universe, Kelly Lightburn, to emcee, present awards and speak to the crowd after the race about standing up to bullies and the importance of self-confidence.
The inaugural event was a huge success and it was evident the Girl Scouts worked very hard on their Run 4 Respect Fun Run from start to finish.
For Music Mondays, I’m now teaming up with my good friend and fellow Marathon Mama, Chrissy.

You and your girls always run for the best causes! I am glad they’re getting into fitness and bettering the world at a young age. Wish I’d done the same with my boys!
Looks like it was a great event, and your song fits right in. I have been taking your advice and running just a little bit every day with my walk.
Ah the Girl Scouts! What a great crew! Nice song choice with super strong Beyonce. Thanks for sharing.
That is wonderful to see girls in action! Glad they had suvh fun and it was a successful event!

That’s pretty cool that you’ll met Mrs. Universe. Actually, I did not know there was a “Mrs. Universe” so this neat. Maybe there’s hope for me yet. lol Great fun to dance with you on Monday’s Music Moves Me!
