Hope for Depression Research Foundation (HDRF)

Hello,

I have registered to run in this year’s Race Of Hope hosted by the Hope For Depression research foundation. This non-profit organization is changing the way depression is viewed, researched, and treated. Depression is a condition that affects our mood and massive changes in lifestyle in a lot of negative ways, such as losing interest in things we used to enjoy. Suicide rates are at alarming rates because those with depression can’t get the help they need. I am not only a long-distance runner, but I am also a big believer in helping those in need without expecting anything in return or when others can’t do anything for me. I created this fundraiser to spread awareness and to help those who may feel like they are ignored. I want everyone to know that they are not alone and their feelings are real. Any amount of money is appreciated. Whether it’s a $1, $10, or $100, helping those in need is good for the soul, isn’t it? The run takes place August 3rd, so I will accept donations up until the end of July. The goal is set at $500, but I would love to see more than that if possible. You can also donate on the foundation’s website at www.hopefordepression.org and select the donors to donate to. 100% of all fundraising money I get from here and from the foundation’s website will all go to depression and mental health research. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.

With love,

Angel
