My Story…
Last year, I signed up for the Run for Women as my first real run in years. On May 9, 2025, I couldn’t run more than a few minutes without wanting to quit. Just 23 days later, I completed my first 5K in years. That experience changed more than my fitness — it changed how I show up for myself. Since then, I’ve kept going. I ran an 8K in October, and now I’m training for a 10K. I’m stronger, healthier, and more grounded than I expected — and it all started with this event. That’s why this cause matters to me. Mental health struggles aren’t always visible, and not everyone has access to the support they need. If my journey can inspire someone to start — or help raise funds for women who need that support — it’s worth it. Thank you for being part of it 💚
