Sole Girls has spent this past 21 days helping Passion Foundation raise awareness about adversities that girls face. Today we ran 21kms in the Scotiabank Vancouver Half Marathon, each km represented 1 of the adversities.
The issues we ran for are very real issues that girls IN VANCOUVER are facing. Passion Foundation works directly with teen girls giving them hope and tools to live now and create positive futures. Below are the videos local women filmed to raise this awareness for local girls.
