Finihs Line Feeling (2015)

Girls With Sole spawned and evolved organically from founder, Liz Ferro's, personal life experiences, and her desire to help girls discover the empowerment that can be derived from athletics and fitness. Liz credits athletics for giving her the self-esteem and inner strength needed to overcome difficult times, including a childhood that exposed her to both foster care and to abuse. Founder, Liz Ferro, wanted at-risk girls, and those who have experienced abuse of any kind to be given a sporting chance in their lives, and to experience the "finish line feeling. Girls With Sole offers a large variety of fitness and wellness programs that include yoga, dance, and traditional team sports to girls who need someone to believe in them, so that, they may believe in themselves.. Many of these girls would otherwise have no place to participate in sports or group exercise in a safe environment, or have access to group athletics. Focusing on healthy living, good nutrition, exercise and wellness helps the girls gain self-esteem and make healthier choices in other parts of their lives. In addition to free programming, each of our girls also receive running shoes, sports bras, fitness journals, and water bottles, and is sponsored to take part in various road races and other sporting events. Her mission is to use free fitness and wellness programs to empower the minds, bodies and souls of girls who are at-risk or have experienced any type of abuse.
