This year, I’m proud to participate in the 21st annual Mary Kay Ash Foundation MK5K®, a cause that’s deeply personal to me.

As a domestic violence survivor, I know firsthand how important safe shelters, support, and education are. This event also raises critical funds for cancer research affecting women — another fight that touches too many lives.

The funds raised go directly to:

Grants for domestic violence shelters

Educational resources for prevention

Groundbreaking research to fight women’s cancers

I’m asking for your support — whether through a donation, sharing this message, or cheering me on as I walk/run for healing and hope. Every dollar makes a difference.

Together, we can honor the strength of survivors and help create a safer, healthier future for all women.

With gratitude,

Michelle Thompson
