Suicide is a leading cause of death, and yet so many struggle in silence.

Hi! My name is Araya Patterson, and for my 20th birthday, I’m challenging myself to swim 20,000 yards in one day — that’s 800 laps in a 25-yard pool. It’s a huge physical and mental feat, and I’ll be doing it in 4 straight increments with short breaks in between.

But I want this challenge to be more than just distance — I’m swimming with purpose.

⸻

Why this matters to me:

1 in 5 people live with a mental illness.

Nearly 50% of college students report symptoms of anxiety or depression.

And yet stigma, silence, and limited access still prevent many from getting the support they need.

Swimming has helped me stay grounded, push through hard moments, and reconnect with myself. Movement is a proven way to support mental health — and I want to turn my swim into something that raises both awareness and hope.

That’s why I’m raising money for NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) — one of the nation’s leading nonprofits supporting people and families affected by mental health challenges.

⸻

My Goal: $400

Every donation — no matter the amount — goes directly to NAMI through this GoFundMe. Your support helps fund mental health education, peer support, advocacy, and life-saving resources.

⸻

For every donor:

As a thank you, you’ll receive a small gift bag after my swim, including:

    •    Local mental health resources

    •    A sweet treat

    •    A personalized thank-you

    •    Your name on my lap dedication chart (every donor = a lap!)

⸻

Thank you for supporting me and supporting a cause that affects so many.

Let’s swim toward something better — together.

Not so long ago, I had someone who was not just a friend, but my brother. We were always around each other doing dumb high school things like getting into trouble, terrorizing our parents and siblings with out goofy ideas, and everything like that. He was the funniest man i knew and one of the most genuine about different issues i was facing. However. he was having a battle with himself that he told no one about, not even me. That day I approached his casket, I swore that i would do everything in my power to help aid the fight on mental illness and be there for everyone i could be so no one else has to go through the pain that i did that day. This is one of those times though where the fight is bigger than just me and where it needs all the help we can get.

ECS is proud to support the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) during the ECS Cares Q2 Drive. NAMI is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.

My name is Allie Edwards and I’m raising money to support the non profit organization National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). They are dedicated to building better lives for millions of Americans affected by mental illness and provide support for those in need. I aim to raise awareness for youth mental health and how social media is a large factor, and this organization will help my cause.

I am doing a leadership project for class, and decided to help raise some money for mental health. Mental health is a serious problem in the world as at least 58.7 million people struggle with it worldwide. This money will go straight to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. NAMI pushes for better mental health policies on the local and national level. Your donation will go toward making mental health care more accessible and reducing stigma.

I’m raising funds to support suicide awareness and honor those who have tragically lost their lives while feeling unworthy of love. Every dollar raised will be donated to NAMI, a nonprofit dedicated to mental health support and education. Together, we can help ensure that no one feels alone in their struggle. Suicide should never be an option. Remember, you are loved and cherished. Let’s be the change we want to see.
