“Because of Hardy Girls Healthy Women I am able to love who I am completely, inside and out and teach others how to as well. I have learned how to take action in the world around me, be a leader, and state my opinions without hesitation. Hardy Girls has shaped me into the strong, independent girl I am today.”



Laura, an original HGHW Adventure Girl, attends Kents Hill School and hails from Hallowell. She runs cross-country and track and especially loves to run with her dog, Sparrow. Laura enjoys arts and crafts and sells some of her creations at a local artisan shop in Hallowell. She also plays the clarinet and loves to downhill ski - and she recently discovered she enjoys sailing quite a bit. Laura is looking forward to working with the advisory board to plan events so that she can help other girls experience some of the great programs HGHW has to offer.
