Miles for Mental Health
26.2 Miles to End the Stigma
This fall, I’m running my first Chicago Marathon in support of Erika’s Lighthouse, an incredible organization dedicated to ending the stigma around mental health and preventing teen suicide through education. Too many teens don’t have the language, confidence, or support to ask for help, and Erika’s Lighthouse is changing that by providing schools with free, evidence-based programs.
Training for 26.2 miles while planning my own wedding will be a challenge, but every early morning run and long weekend mileage will be worth it knowing each step supports life-saving education and resources for teens. My goal is to raise $3,500 to help provide these programs and give more young people the tools and confidence to ask for help.
I’d be so grateful for your support — whether through a donation, sharing this page, or sending encouragement along the way. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps make a real difference. Thank you for joining me on this journey and supporting a cause that truly matters!
