Support My Fundraising Efforts

When I decided I was going to attempt to run the Chicago Marathon this year, I knew that I wanted to do so with an organization promoting mental health care and awareness. There were several to choose from (which is awesome) and after researching the options, I especially resonated with Erika's Lighthouse. Erika's Lighthouse is focused on educating middle/high school students (and educators) on depression awareness. That early education is huge. Even with the increase in mental health awareness, stigmas still exist, and I know firsthand how damaging those stigmas can be. I appreciate any and all support as we work to raise awareness and educate teens and young adults about depression, suicide, and mental health in general.

Erika's Lighthouse is 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 so educators and teens can create safe spaces to learn about depression, letting students know they are never alone, and there is somewhere to turn.
