Hi!

I'm Jen, a running enthusiast and big sister to Brock Curtis, living in New York City.

I have the incredible opportunity to participate in The Speed Project Solo from LA through the Mojave Desert to the Las Vegas Strip – an event without spectators, no rules, or a defined route. Even though I will be running the 340-mile adventure solo, I'll be supported by an amazing crew, including my mom, Debbie, my sister, Nicole, and my friends Bobi and Jams. I won't be necessarily ready, but I'll definitely be prepared!

100% of all individual donations will be used for mental health programming through my family's nonprofit, 4TeamBrock. Your contribution, no matter the size, will be sincerely appreciated and channeled towards making a positive impact.

4TeamBrock supports those with mental illness lead long, full, and healthier lives.

My brother, Brock, did a lot of living in his short 24 years, passing away on January 12, 2021. He ran a virtual marathon with me in our hometown in Buffalo, NY, during COVID. He traveled the world, including visiting me when I served in the Peace Corps in Benin, West Africa, and he enjoyed creative writing and poetry. He was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 approximately 3 years prior to his passing away. Even with good health insurance and a caring, educated family, it took too long to get the services he needed. The Tallman-Curtis Family Foundation was started to honor Brock by helping others.

Being selected to run The Speed Project Solo is a huge honor. The goal of this 340-mile run is to draw attention to the urgent need for mental health resources and to provide hope to those affected by mental illness. By championing this cause, we can work together to alleviate the stigma surrounding mental health and help prevent suicide.

Please consider donating $10, $34, or $340. I appreciate your support so much!

Remember, Brocky Loves You!

Best,

Jen
