While girls at this age have so much to celebrate, at the same time they also face many challenging obstacles, especially depression and self-esteem issues. This is the message more than 60 incredible women will be communicating this fall as they bike across the country with Girls on the Move. At the heart of Girls on the Move is a cross-country bicycling expedition from Portland to New York by riders selected for their personal stories and their ability to be role models and change lives. They’ll stop in communities along the way to inspire, celebrate and educate girls, women and communities. Top academics, distinguished celebrities, corporate sponsors and non-profit organizations have helped build and grow this groundbreaking initiative that will directly impact thousands o f girls across the country. Girls on the move is a special project o f Outward Bound, created by a group o f female instructors who saw remarkable improvements in girls’ self-esteem after completing an adventure based educational experience. Our riders include a 72 year-old woman who escaped Nazi Germany, one o f the w orld's premiere paraplegic athletes, a breast cancer survivor and dozens o f other incredible stories. Riders range from 17 years to 72 years old.
