Help Ivon raise money

Running has always been my path to freedom. During some of the most difficult seasons of my life, running helped me find strength, hope, and healing when I needed it most. Every mile reminded me that no matter how hard the journey, I could keep moving forward.

This year, I'm running for something bigger than myself. I'm proud to be fundraising for the Valley Health Foundation, an organization dedicated to ensuring that everyone in Santa Clara County has access to quality healthcare, regardless of their ability to pay.

Why does this matter? Because 1 out of every 4 residents in Santa Clara County relies on our public healthcare system for essential medical care. Valley Health Foundation supports four hospitals, 15 primary and specialty care health centers, more than 15,000 healthcare professionals, and over 200 programs and initiatives that serve our community. Their work helps provide life-saving care, mental health services, support for vulnerable families, healthcare for individuals experiencing homelessness, and critical resources for patients facing their toughest moments.

I know firsthand how important support can be when life feels overwhelming. That's why I'm asking for your help. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps create healthier futures, strengthens our local healthcare system, and ensures that care is available for those who need it most.

As I take on this challenge, I invite you to join me in making a difference. Together, we can turn every mile into hope, healing, and opportunity for our community.

Thank you for your generosity, encouragement, and support.

With gratitude, 

Ivon
