Help Hien raise money

This August 2026, I will be running the Edmonton Half Marathon. This is a challenge I chose very intentionally, not because it feels easy, but because it does not. For a long time, running was something that discouraged me. I was not the fastest, I compared myself to others, and it made me question whether I was even capable. Over time, I have learned that progress is not about speed. It is about showing up, staying consistent, and believing that improvement is possible, even when it feels uncomfortable. 

Committing to a half marathon is my way of choosing growth over self-doubt. It challenges my discipline, confidence, and mental resilience, and it reminds me that I do not have to be perfect to be proud of myself. I just have to keep going.
Alongside this personal goal, I wanted my efforts to support something bigger than me. Food insecurity affects many individuals and families in Edmonton, and Edmonton’s Food Bank plays a vital role in providing support when people need it most. It is a cause that has real, immediate impact in our community, and we can make a difference one step at a time.

This run represents more than training miles. It represents choosing growth over comfort, belief over comparison, and using my journey to help others along the way. If you are able to donate, I would be deeply grateful. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps make a meaningful difference, and your support means more to me than I can fully express. 

Thank you so much for the support!
