Dear Friends and Family,
As you may know, I’m excited to be running the Los Angeles Marathon again with Team NAMI to support mental health awareness and advocacy.
NAMI Greater Los Angeles County is dedicated to providing resources, education, and support for individuals and families affected by mental illness. As a School Psychologist, I see firsthand how hope, understanding, and access to care can transform lives. Mental health conditions like anxiety and depression affect millions of people each year, yet stigma and lack of resources often prevent individuals from seeking help. Research shows that exercise, community support, and advocacy can play a powerful role in managing mental health -and running has certainly been a source of strength and clarity for me.
To help NAMI continue its mission, I’ve set a personal goal of raising $1,000 while training for and completing the Los Angeles Marathon. Every dollar raised helps provide free support groups, educational programs, and advocacy efforts for those in need.
Would you consider supporting me by donating $35, $50, or $100? Every contribution brings us closer to making mental health care accessible for all.

Your support means the world to me - not just as a runner, but as someone committed to mental health awareness. Thank you for being part of this journey with me!
With gratitude,
Krista
