My Story…
I am really excited to support this great organization of OUT Metrowest. They do amazing work to support youths in the LGBTQ+ community. I am so proud of my son, Chris, and the courage and determination he has to live his life authentically as who he is. I am truly honored and grateful that I can support him in this. My heart hurts to know there are kids and teens who are not supported by their families and communities. OUTMetrowest gives kids the community, support, and resources to be their authentic selves. My vision is that all people know they are valued and loved for who they are. OUT Metrowest supports this vision.
If you know me, you know that this is a huge stretch for me to participate in this road race. I am doing the in-home version, and will be walking most of the 7.5 mile route. I am also committed to running at least 1 mile of it! I am determined to make a difference in my life and the lives of the young people served by OUT Metrowest.
Description
Please join me in helping to build communities where LGBTQ+ youth thrive
LGBTQ+ young people are at greater risk than their straight peers for depression, risk taking, and self-harming. So OUT MetroWest offers activities that are not just fun, they're also educational and supportive. Even in a year like the one we all just experienced, OUT MetroWest seamlessly transitioned to online programs, ensuring that those important connections with peers and adult role models could still be realized.
And because of the generousity of friends and donors like us, these programs are free! LGBTQ+ youth and allies come to OUT MetroWest meetings from more than 50 different communities in MetroWest Boston and beyond -- your neighbors', colleagues', and friends' kids may be benefiting from the life-affirming programs through OUT MetroWest. It's a cause that I am proud to support.
It's the first time OUT MetroWest is having charity runners in the Falmouth Road Race ... and it's also OUT MetroWest's Tenth Anniversary year!
I hope you'll help me reach (and perhaps surpass!) my minimum goal of $750 to celebrate and honor OUT MetroWest's vital work.
Thank you for gift today!
