Be Alive Tomorrow: Tony Mikel's Marathon Fundraiser

Hi - my name is Tony Mikel

I’m training for my first ultra marathon (Palo Duro Trail Run) happening on October 18th, 2025! While I train, I am fundraising for an extremely important non-profit called To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA). TWLOHA is a non-profit movement dedicated to finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. This organization is important to me because I am a suicide attempt survivor. In 2018, I struggled with addiction, alcohol abuse, and depression. I used the TWLOHA crisis line to find help (therapy, psychiatrist, counseling). I am a living testimony to what TWLOHA can do to help people struggling like I was. Last year, I ran the OKC Memorial Marathon and raised $5000 for TWLOHA, helping 17,000 people gain access to free or reduced-cost mental health resources. I’m running this marathon to remember the journey I’ve been on and to remind people out there that you can do anything if you make the beautiful decision to be alive tomorrow. My fundraising goal this year is $3,100 but I hope to raise more than that. Please support me in my goals to run my first ultra marathon and consider donating to TWLOHA in my name. Share this everywhere you can. Thanks
