The mission of the program is to inspire boys through the power of running to be courageous enough to be themselves, to build healthy relatonships, and to live an actve lifestyle. Parents, Mandy Damico and Tanja Fagan, brought this program to Gull Lake. Serving 28 boys and in its fourth week, Let Me Run is already making a diference. This past week, we ran a mock 5K with the Girls on the Run groups. The runners who had crossed the fnish line frst were running back to run with and encourage those stll running the racethey didnt stop untl every boy and girl had fnished. It was really inspiring, said Fagan. June 2014
