I am SO excited to be running the NY Marathon this year in support of Team Minding Your Mind! Minding Your Mind is a wonderful organization that provides much needed mental health support and programing for youth. Their speakers encourage and inspire individuals to take action to help themselves and their peers. They are working to create an environment that ends the stigma around mental health challenges, and normalize the conversation. 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. While hosting groups are invited to make a donation to Minding Your Mind, they 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. Thank you.
