I believe everyone should have the right to make decisions about their own body. When I think about the people who face barriers to affordable reproductive and sexual health care, I feel compelled to act. That conviction is what is bringing me to the Planned Parenthood 30-Mile Walk/Run Challenge this November.

I am joining this campaign because access to care, education, and respectful treatment should not depend on where you live, how much money you make, or who you love. Planned Parenthood’s mission to provide inclusive, high-quality health services and to defend reproductive rights resonates deeply with me and with so many in our communities who need support and protection.

Every mile I walk is a step toward ensuring that people can get the care they need with dignity. By participating in this challenge I hope to raise awareness and help Planned Parenthood continue offering compassionate care, accurate education, and policy advocacy that protects bodily autonomy for all.

Please support my walk by donating to Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Your gift will help expand access to vital services and defend the rights of people everywhere to make their own health care decisions.
