Run for Mental Health: Jyontika Runs Chicago!

Hi all! My name is Jyontika, and I'm running the 2026 Chicago Marathon (my first marathon!). To do so I am fundraising for Erika’s Lighthouse, an organization that provides depression education and suicide prevention curriculum in the U.S. This cause means a lot to me, as I’ve faced my own mental health challenges in adolescence and beyond. Running has been an important part of my mental health journey. It is so special to me that my first marathon will raise funds to provide resources to other students in need. Any support is truly appreciated!

Erika’s Lighthouse is a non-profit organization that believes that every student should have the knowledge and tools they need to care for their mental health. We’re proud to provide our high-quality, comprehensive depression education and suicide prevention curriculum to school districts across the country, at zero cost. Every student. Every classroom. Every school.
