I am a mom who balances my career as a reading specialist with parenting a 1.5 year old and loving competitive running and biking. I don't think women should give up personal goals when they become parents.

Scottish Rite Freemasons 5K Run/Walk to Benefit Children With Dyslexia

Posted on July 10, 2012

If you happen to be in the area of Newington, Connecticut on the last Saturday of July, please consider supporting Scottish Rite Freemasons 5K Run/Walk to Benefit Children With Dyslexia. The Children's Dyslexia Center of Connecticut provides free tutoring to children who face reading difficulty. You can register for the event on active.com or contact Jeff Flynn for more information at jedge60@yahoo.com. I was the first place teacher in last years race and the second woman overall. I'm not super fast, so I'm hoping that more people come out this year and beat me, and also support the Children's Dyslexia Center. My friend Anna and I enjoyed this short race last year, and I hope that you will consider entering as well. The children of Connecticut really need your support in facing their reading disabilities!
