My Story…
As someone who's struggled to take care of her mental health due to the pressure of the IB program and Academic Validation among other things, I know how important it is to make sure everyone has access to mental health support during tough times.
I've ran rather competitively in the past, getting Podium in races such as the Calgary Marathon 10K for F-U15 in 2022, Melissa's Road Race 10K for F-U20 in 2024, and in The French Run in F-U20 and Female Overall. And as I take the challenge of running my first Half Marathon, I want to use my passion for running for the greater good. I want to raise at least $500 for not only the Canadian Mental Health Association to help more and more people get resources to heal from Mental Health struggles, but also to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Calgary Area so more Youth have the opportunity to grow with the help of mentorship.
To make this more exciting, for each milestone we reach, I'll do something fun and different each time :)
For $100, I'll paint my nails green, the international color for Mental Health Awareness
For $200, I'll run the Half Marathon in a skirt (skort)
For $300, I'll wear green to school every day for the week leading up to the Calgary Marathon
For $400, I'll give a bouquet of flowers to the person who donated the most money on the page
For $500, I'll run the Calgary Marathon with my mentor(s) from BBBS
For $750, I'll write an article in my school newspaper about the importance of taking care of one's mental health.
For $1000, I'll give bouquets of flowers to my Top 3 people who donated overall throughout the race and <maybe> run the 21.1KM with a tiara on. ( If I can find one that will stay on :') )
Bonus: Anything more than $1000, I'll say out my secret marathon victory phrase after crossing the finish line.
It's time to get running!
Edit: Thank you so much for all of your help everyone, I couldng have reached my first $1000 without your help, support, and encouragement. Sending lots of love. ππππ
