February Mom of the Month

Our mom of the month program honors moms for their efforts to lead healthy lifestyles, and gives us a chance to get to know them better at the same time!

February's featured Mom of the Month is Jennifer Breva! Congrats, Jen!

Jen was a Stroller Strides mom in Portland and joined our Raleigh group when she moved here in 2011.  She brings her adorable girls Natalie and Kira on a regular basis and the three of them brighten the classes and make us all laugh.  ;)  Jen has worked hard on her fitness and shows a fierce determination through not only weekly Stroller Strides workouts, but also our Running Mamas program and recently in our Body Back bootcamp-style program.  Join us in congratulating Jennifer and read on to get to know her a little better.
