In this guest blog series, we’d like to introduce you to a few members from our Girl Scout Go-Getters team, which will be participating in the 2017 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Next up is Kassie Giesel…
In just a few short weeks, I will be doing something bold in the upcoming year. I will be running my third Bank of America Chicago Marathon on October 8, 2017.
Girl Scouts has been a part of my family for three generations and I’m happy to share that my daughter is the fourth generation! Being a leader is also part of our legacy. My great-grandmother was my grandmother’s leader, my mother was a Girl Scout and was also my leader, and now I am my daughter’s Daisy troop leader.
My favorite memories from when I was a Girl Scout include camping at White Pines (I can’t wait to do this with my daughter!), horseback riding, crafting projects at monthly meetings, and all of the outings we went on. I can remember going to the zoo, aquarium, museums, bowling, and many more.
Growing up as a Girl Scout, I developed courage, confidence and character. It is all of these characteristics that have led me to running a marathon to raise money for charity.
