Help Andrew raise money

Hi friends,

This Sunday, I'm joining my team for a half-marathon fundraiser to support Hong Fook Mental Health Association. Fresh off the Chicago Marathon this past weekend, I wasn’t planning to run again so soon, but the cause is too important.

Here's my why: Asian mental health is often overlooked, and many in our community only seek help when it's an emergency. This is the story of my own family and I know how different our lives could have been if we had a place like Hong Fook to turn to. 

Hong Fook changes the trajectory of Asian people and families struggling with mental health challenges by providing culturally safe care in five Asian languages and English, helping people access mental health support before it's too late. We keep people out of hospitals and ensure they get the right care, keeping them connected to family, friends and community.

Your support isn't just about raising funds—it's about changing lives and helping us build a stronger, healthier community where people have the opportunity to thrive. 

It wouldn't feel right if I asked you to make a contribution without making one myself. So, I'm pledging a match gift of up to $500 in hopes that you will help me reach $1,000 in total! 

***UPDATE: I am blown away by how quickly people have so generously rallied to help me raise funds for Hong Fook! As promised, I've made my match gift of $500 and hope this will inspire others to keep the momentum going and help me reach $3,000 so Hong Fook can help even more people who need it the most!

No contribution is too small to make a difference especially because I know the kind of impact we can have when we do this together. 

Thank you for giving with an open heart,

Andrew
