We often get asked what our hopes are for girls in sports.

Our #1 hope is that girls feel empowered to ask questions when something feels off. We believe this will inspire larger-scale change for girls in sports. #fixgirlssports #iamarunher

Thank you @runmeb - and to all the athletes who have sent their love and support, it really means a lot. It can be easy to fall into the trap of normalizing bad behavior, but working together, we can change the culture. #FixGirlsSports https://twitter.com/runmeb/status/1194787871011553280

Not only did @runmarycain have the strength to share her story after years of abuse—she inspired others to come forward with their own. Her determination to #FixGirlsSports and the broken system is inspiring.

Mary Cain was once the fastest American girl. She joined Nike's running team with the hope of becoming the best female athlete ever. But the system meant to help her ultimately put her at risk. https://nyti.ms/2Cm6SkX
