A MESSAGE FROM Alex's NYC Marathon Fundraising Page
Hey there! This November, I will be running the TCS New York City Marathon for Team Minding Your Mind!
Minding Your Mind is fighting the stigma that still surrounds speaking out about your mental health and reminding people that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. One of the things that I love most about Minding Your Mind is their initiative in breaking this stigma early in life by working with kids from an early age on the importance of talking through emotions and understanding ones mental health. I am proud to be running for such an amazing program as myself, members of my family and many friends fight the battle against various mental health challenges everyday.
The majority of Minding Your Mind’s programs are provided on a donate-as-able basis to the schools or organizations requesting them. Each individual program costs Minding Your Mind approximately $500 plus overhead. While hosting groups are invited to make a donation to Minding Your Mind, we do not decline presentations due to an inability to pay. Because of this policy, most of Minding Your Mind’s financing is derived from fundraising events, personal donations, and charitable grants.Your donation can change — and save — lives.
