As part of our senior year project at New Trier, we have partnered with Erika’s Lighthouse to raise awareness for teen mental health through a 5K fun run. The run will take place on Saturday, May 10th, at 10 a.m. There will be a $10 entrance fee for anyone who wishes to participate, and all proceeds will go directly to Erika’s Lighthouse!
Why we are doing this
We are Stella and Fiona, and we are so excited to be planning this event! Running has been a huge part of both of our lives, and we are thrilled to use our passion for running to help benefit others. In addition to planning the fundraiser, we will also be conducting research on the effects that running has on young people's mental health. We are currently in the process of training for the Chicago Half Marathon on May 18th, so we love that this 5K can be a part of that!
