Detroit Marathon to Fund Mental Health Research

My name is Annika Abramson and I am running the Detroit Free Press Marathon in October 2025. I hope to run fast but more importantly I hope to raise money for the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, which is the largest non-government funder of mental health research. My own journey in research has shown me the power of having sufficient grant money to carry out the experiments that drive scientific progress forward. My own life experiences and that of those around me have shown me the importance of mental health. I hope to make an a meaningful impact in progressing how we understand and treat mental health.
