Help Chilli raise money

I no longer remember when running became one of my annual routines until someone recently asked me, “When is your run? Send me the link, I’d love to support you!”

Perhaps it’s a sign of age that I’ve been part of Across U-Hub for over 20 years. Looking back, I started as a participant, then became a volunteer, then a leader. Today, I’m a seasonal runner and a member of the fundraising committee.

Having gone through this journey myself, I can see how important it is to grow up in a community that offers opportunities to learn, try, and strive. I remember the nights and summers spent with peers preparing for leadership training camps. The efforts that turned into lifelong friendships we still rely on at different stages of life.

But the challenges are changing. Social media and AI may shape the next generation’s reality. That’s why it’s more important than ever to create spaces where young people can connect, grow, and belong.

Please join me in supporting Across U-Hub. Every step I run is powered by your encouragement and generosity. Together, we can make a difference today and for the future.
