Help Liisa raise money

I am running to support women’s mental health research because women’s mental health has been profoundly under-researched, despite the enormous burden it places on women, families, and society. Women are more likely than men to experience depression and anxiety, yet we still know far too little about how female biology, hormonal transitions, and women’s lived experiences shape mental health across the lifespan. As a neuroscientist, I have seen firsthand how much can be learned when we study women and female biology more intentionally. I believe we can do better—not only by identifying why women are at greater risk for certain mental health conditions, but by developing prevention strategies and treatments that actually reflect women’s biology. Running is one small way I can help raise awareness and support the research needed to close this gap.Every step represents my commitment to a future where women’s mental health is no longer overlooked, underfunded, or treated as an afterthought
