Running is where I find clarity, grounding, and a sense of strength I can carry into the rest of my life. It’s been the place I return to in hard seasons, the routine that helps me care for my mind as much as my body, and the community that reminds me none of us have to navigate mental health alone.

This year, I’m running the Philadelphia Marathon for Still I Run in honor of my dear friend, Samantha, who recently died. She lived in Philadelphia, and carrying her memory through this race feels like a meaningful way to keep her close while supporting a cause that reflects both her spirit and my own commitment to mental health advocacy.

Running for mental health matters to me because it’s healing, it’s hopeful, and it creates space for conversations we need more of.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort. Your support means the world to me!
