Mac's Run For A Healthier Mind
My name is Mac and I am 15 years old. For the most part, my life has been filled with good fortunes thanks to my family, friends, and people like you. It is because of these good fortunes and my desire to pay it forward that I will be running in the Fairfield Police Sunset Run on Wed July 21, 2021 in Fairfield, CT to raise funds for One Mind. One Mind is a mental health non-profit that provides the hope and services needed for the millions of youth who have seen their mental health worsen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The pandemic has caused a significant uptick in the already high rates of anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts our youth face. With a program portfolio that focuses on advancing the science, services, and society, I am excited to support One Mind and their mission to accelerate collaborative research and advocacy to enable all individuals facing brain health challenges to build healthy, productive lives.
The training my dad and I will do from now until the run on July 21st will improve our physical and mental health. By supporting our efforts and our fundraising campaign for One Mind, your donation will help us to improve the mental health of others.
Thank you so much for your donation! Your support will motivate me as I train and participate in this event, but also as I grow in life.
