Mental health awareness has always been deeply personal to me. I have experienced it firsthand, know many people who struggle with depression, and have lost loved ones to suicide. Mental health awareness is still lacking in so many spaces, even though it is critically important. Because of that, I am incredibly excited to run the Chicago Marathon with Erika’s Lighthouse and deeply grateful for the opportunity to raise money for an organization that is making a real difference and saving lives.
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.
