Running on Empty - 24 Hour Run for Maternal Mental Health

Support Abby’s 24-Hour Run for Maternal Mental Health

Hi everyone,

My name is Abby, and I’m a proud mom to the sweetest 3-year-old boy. This Mother’s Day weekend, I’m taking on a personal and meaningful challenge: running 2 miles every hour for 24 hours — a total of 48 miles — to raise awareness about the maternal mental health crisis.

The 2 miles every hour symbolize the ongoing physical and emotional toll that mothers experience during the postpartum period — the exhaustion, the overwhelm, the persistence through every hour of the day and night. This run is a tribute to that invisible labor and the strength it takes just to get through each moment.

I’m doing this to support Conscious Mom, an organization whose mission is deeply important to me. They’re working to provide vital support and resources to mothers facing mental health challenges.

My goal is to raise $1,000, and I’m inviting you to join me in this effort by pledging a donation per mile. Every dollar helps and brings us one step closer to supporting moms who need it most.

Please consider supporting my 24-hour run — whether through a pledge, a share, or a few words of encouragement.

Thank you so much for your support

—Abby
