Help Yanchen raise money

I’ve always loved sports — bouldering, skiing, surfing, golf… you name it. I’m an expert at none of them, but that’s never been the point. For me, movement has always been about balance — a way to reset my mind, challenge my body, and stay grounded through the ups and downs of graduate school and life.

I’m running this 5K with the Child Health and Human Development (CHHD) team because I believe healthy habits start early. Supporting CHHD means supporting research, care, and advocacy that help children grow into strong, resilient adults. If my run can help raise awareness and encourage even a few more people to embrace movement — not as competition, but as lifelong self-care — then it’s worth every step.
