A MESSAGE FROM Kyle Young

THANK YOU for visiting my page. 


Running NYC alongside Team Minding Your Mind is both an exciting and deeply personal endeavor. I share my family’s story with you to both HONOR and SUPPORT. 


My little brother, LJ, was just 26 when he took his own life, September 22, 2020.


Fourteen years my junior, our relationship felt part sibling, part friend and part parental (although my mom did a hell of a job on her own!). 


Life presented its challenges but none seemed too great to conquer LJ’s spirit or his eye on the future. He was inquisitive, strong minded, compassionate, gentle and loving to all who knew him. These traits carried from boyhood to adulthood. 


LJ had a sense of humor that never left him. He had a smile best described as infectious…one that arguably, perhaps begrudgingly, got him out of hot water more times than one can count. ;)


LJ had a love of reading and knowledge, music and lyrics, the environment and animals.  Each of these passions played a part in shaping the man he grew to be and the values he carried with him each day. 


26 years of shared memories, laughter and love to forever carry with us. 


There is no distance I wouldn’t run if it meant even one more day…one more conversation with you…


26.2 for LJ ❀️

    What a moving story. As you likely know, I tried to take my life at 17 and mental health has been one of my passionate causes ever since. Good for you for having finished the NY Marathon. Your experience was mine as well, despite busting an ankle mid-way through the race, I had a smile on my face and a great sense of accomplishment at the end. Bravo!
