Help Brenden raise money

My name is Brendan. I've been a student at the John Volken Academy since June 9th, 2017. I'm a recovering addict/alcoholic. During my time here, I've worked through traumas I have experienced that have haunted me & done tremendous work to better myself in my mental, emotional & physical health. A major part of my healing process I have gone through here, has been running. I truly love it and feel so free. It's become something I sought initially to improve my health, into that and much more. It has become a source of confidence, it's become my favorite hobby to indulge with others & develop connection, but primarily it's become my active meditation. In early recovery, spirituality is so important & running being my form of meditation, I rely on it for my time to connect with my spirituality. I am grateful for how far I've come with it -- not being able to run 1km summer of 2018 -- & am excited to complete my first half marathon this June & further on! Thank you for your support!!
