Running My First Marathon to Support Youth Mental Health

Why I'm running for Team Resilience

I’m incredibly excited to share that I’ll be running the Chicago Marathon for the first time—and I’m doing it to support an organization whose mission truly inspires me: Erika’s Lighthouse.

Erika’s Lighthouse is a beacon of hope for young people struggling with depression and mental health challenges. Their work empowers students, families, and schools by providing tools and resources that help create safe, inclusive environments where no teen feels alone in their struggle.

Through mental health education, teen empowerment, and family engagement, Erika’s Lighthouse is transforming how communities talk about and support youth mental health. They are making it possible for students to recognize depression, seek help without shame, and support one another through some of life’s hardest moments.

As I prepare to take on the challenge of running 26.2 miles for the first time, I’m fueled by more than just physical training—I'm fueled by the opportunity to make a difference. This run is about pushing boundaries, embracing courage, and standing with young people who need to know they are not alone.
