Njord x LEAD Race to Camp 5K
Njörd's annual fun run to raise money for LEAD HTX's summer camp program - sending underrepresented students from inner city Houston to an overnight summer camp to explore outdoor activities and skills.
RAFFLE!
As a final push, I am raffling off 2x Philips Sonicare toothbrushes - thanks to Damen Dental Assoc. in Chicago, IL. Tickets are $5 each (ex: 4 tickets = $20). If you previously donated and didn't win the last raffle, donate $10 (2 tickets) and all past tickets will be entered. Winner announced after the marathon.
Let's make mental health resources accessible to every teen
Why running for Team Resilience - Erika's Lighthouse?
Mental health topics remain a stigmatized issue in society and something forced to be discussed behind closed doors. As these issues are ignored, people feel alone and devalue their lives. In 2021, I ran the Chicago Marathon for AFSP Race for Hope team in honor of a dear friend that we lost to suicide - Peter Godshall may he rest in peace. In the coming years, I saw that many of us felt helpless and realized we are not equipped with the tools to recognize the signs and support those in need. The education around these topics must start early and often.
Erika's Lighthouse started in my home region of the North Shore suburbs of Chicago determined to make sure no young person feels alone in their depression. We are dedicated to creating a community of empathy and education. We create middle school and high school teen depression awareness programs for educators, students, and their guardians to create safe spaces to learn about depression, letting students know they are never alone, and that there is somewhere to turn. These resources are all overviewed and created in junction with mental health professionals and are kept free to schools through donations.
Together we can break the stigma and bring the conversation out of the dark.
RAFFLE: Donate before the marathon (10/8) to be entered into a raffle to win a Philips Sonicare toothbrush. Every $5 will be one raffle ticket.
