Kristina Fournier's Fundraising Page

The Attleboro Norton YMCA is dedicated to supporting the health and wellness of individuals of all ages and abilities. The programs offered by the Y foster friendship, community, and personal growth, with a focus on enhancing self-confidence, improving physical fitness, and promoting overall well-being. The YMCA believes in total health—nurturing not only physical fitness but also mental and emotional wellness for everyone in our community.

Because of this commitment to mental and emotional wellness and the YMCA’s role as a vital resource in our community, I am excited to announce I will be running my first Boston Marathon on behalf of the Attleboro Norton YMCA. I hope to raise funds for the 2025 Annual Campaign while spreading an important message about mental health and how the Y serves our community and neighbors as a partner in healthy living.

As a longtime member and former YMCA employee, I know firsthand the physical and mental benefits of staying active. I want to help raise awareness about the powerful impact physical activity can have on mental health—particularly for those who are struggling.

Throughout the years, whenever life has felt stressful or overwhelming, or when I’ve been dealing with my mental health challenges, being active has always been my go-to stress reliever and mood booster. More recently, I’ve found running to be a source of solace. No matter what’s going on in my life, I always feel better after a run. The physical challenge distracts me, and the sense of accomplishment afterward lifts my spirits.

Running the Boston Marathon is about more than just crossing the finish line. It’s an opportunity to push myself physically while raising awareness for a cause I deeply believe in. For me, the journey is just as important as the cause. Every mile I run will remind me how beneficial physical activity can be, especially mental health.

Please join me in this challenge to train for 26.2 miles and help me raise $10,000 for the Attleboro Norton YMCA’s 2025 Annual Campaign. Together, we can spread a positive message about mental health and share how the YMCA’s programs help people stay active and engaged in this wonderful community.

I thank you for your support.
