*Donate to the Girls on the Run of Northwest Indiana Pave Your Lane Fund. Katie Visco became the youngest female ever to run the 3,200 miles across the United States. She finished her journey in December, 2009. Her mantra, Pave Your Lane represents the idea of finding your passion, and pursuing it. All the money Katie raised during her run across America went to the local GOTR chapters that she met with along the way. This fund will provide financial assistance to pay for girls who otherwise cannot afford the program. $120 covers the program costs for one girl.
Our Event
