In this uplifting episode, host Lee Ann Necessary Brownlee spotlights Community Foundation for Northern Virginia 2025 grantee Girls on the Run of Northern Virginia—more than a running program, it fuses movement with life lessons for 3rd–8th graders. Jaimi Taylor and Sammy Carr share an evidence-based “Go-To Toolbox” (star power, happy pace, breathe-and-reset) that builds confidence during a critical time of girls’ development. The 5K finish-line tears, cheers, and nicknames make this an emotionally uplifting episode! CFNOVA’s grant removes cost barriers while trained coaches fuel mentorship and positive futures.
