Hi, my name is Lauren and I’m raising money for Movember. I’m aiming to run 7 half marathons in 7 days on the last week of November, to help raise awareness and start real conversations around men’s mental and physical health as it’s something we don’t talk about enough.

I’ve watched people I care about struggle in silence, carry everything on their own, or feel like they have to “be fine” and this challenge is my way of showing up for anyone who feels unseen or unheard. I want to raise awareness, start conversations, and put my miles towards something that actually matters. Every donation, no matter how small, goes directly towards supporting men’s mental health, suicide prevention, and vital cancer research. If this message reaches even one person who needs it, or helps someone feel less alone, then every step will be worth it. Thank you so much for being here and supporting something truly important.
