Big Brothers Big Sisters Annual 5K Any Way was the grooviest yet!
My highlight was a surprise reunion with a Big and Little I matched 21 years ago! I literally burst into tears. Their Match Date was still in my calendar. Life-long and life-changing friendships are what this mission is all about. 💚

Confidence growing on the track one step at a time. It was great being with so many Sports Bigs Sisters and their Little Sisters along with Paralympian @bhatz_track and @sdbigs to celebrate mentorship and movement. A grant from Alex Morgan Foundation is helping the Sports Bigs Sisters provide mentorship through sports here in San Diego.
Another fun day out on Mission Bay for our matches at the Sports Bigs Rowing Clinic hosted by SDRC 🚣♀️💙
Bigs and Littles learned rowing skills, worked together on the water, and stepped outside their comfort zones together.
Thank you to the San Diego Rowing Club for hosting such an amazing experience for our matches!
