Meet Team Midgley/Hall


Becky Midgley, mentor from Holland, and Govonna Hall, mentee from Holland

Becky is currently a college student and an AmeriCorps member with the Ottawa County Mentoring Collaborative. She is a tutor and is involved with her church, Searchlight Ministries. She likes to read, do art projects, star-gaze and go on adventures. Becky and Govonna met at the Miles for Mentoring 5K and have been in a tutoring program together for a year. Their favorite memory is the first time they ran together. Govonna is 13 years old and in eighth grade at West Middle School. She volunteers at her church and enjoys double dutch, running, hanging out with friends, and hopes to try out for basketball in the fall. Govonna is looking forward to her first trip to Detroit for the 5K race. She admires Becky’s “bubbly personality” and her willingness to help others. Becky thinks Govonna has a quiet, strong presence and many other kids look up to her. They are looking forward to strengthening their relationship and conquering a challenge.
