Amanda Stevens: Teach Life Lessons Through Running Campaign For the last few weeks, I've been going to be gong head-to-head with 60 other professional athletes in "Who Gives? Racing for a Cause", a competition in partnership with Athletes for Hope and GlobalGiving.org , to see who can raise the most money for their favorite charity. The "Race" has already started and runs through January 15th.  My competition includes Lance Armstrong, Steve Nash, Mia Hamm, and Tony Hawk, and YOU can help me beat them! I am raising money for Girls on the Run, which is an incredible organization that educates and prepares girls for a life time of self-respect and healthy living. The program culminates in a 5K race event which gives the girls a chance to shine and gives them an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. I have set up a scholarship fund for 6 low-income schools, so hopefully we can get some programs set up in their schools! Girls on the Run is so awesome. I was lucky enough to be able to participate in their 5K race this past May. My experience was amazing as I got to see young girls inspired to run for FUN and to see the confidence and self-respect they had gained through the program. Their smiles were all shining so brightly! Hopefully, I can make a positive impact in their lives by working side-by-side with them through the 12-week program. I only wish such a program existed when I was younger! No donation is too small, even a $10 donation can provide healthy snacks at a site. ($65 provides a pair of running shoes, $125 sponsors 1 girl for an entire semester.) Each donation also helps me get one step closer to winning the grand prize of $10,000 for GIRLS ON THE RUN!!! This would make a HUGE impact in the lives of so many girls. There are a lot of great competitors in the Race, so I'm going to need all the help I can get in order to win!!!!
