Run to your problems - August 2nd 2025
Donation protected
I’m lucky—when I was in real trouble, I had access to support in the form of therapy and counselling. Asking for help was tough - but the fact that I could ask ultimately saved my life. But not everyone is so fortunate. For many, help is out of reach due to financial barriers.
That’s why I’m running 3 half marathons on August 2nd to raise funds for those who can not access urgent support. All funds raised will go towards covering the costs of therapy or counseling for those who need it most, ensuring they get the support they deserve. One run in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the early evening.
If this resonates with you, please donate, share your stories, or even join me for a run (whether it's for some, one, or three of them)!
When running (pun intended) the idea by a friend, he suggested I call it: "Run to Your Problems." It feels pretty apt—because for so long, I ran away from mine. Let's change this together so that everyone can get the support they ought to get.
