My Story…
I’m doing this run because women’s mental health matters — truly and deeply. I’ve seen how things like anxiety, burnout, ADHD, and depression can quietly chip away at confidence, energy, and identity. And I’ve also seen the power of support, connection, and care in helping women rebuild. As of May 8, I can barely run five minutes. But I’ve committed to training — physically and mentally — to do my best to run the full 5K on June 1st. This challenge is about more than fitness. It’s about showing up for ourselves, even when it’s hard. It’s about saying you’re not alone. Every dollar raised goes directly to local programs that help women access the mental health care they need. Whether you’re donating in honour of someone you love — or for yourself — thank you for helping me make every step count.
