JANBY Half Marathon for Mental Health Awareness!

Hi everyone! Our names are Gaby, Angela, and Jaylene. In December of 2022, a close friend of ours took his life. It has been a very challenging year navigating the grief and ultimately accepting that he is no longer here with us. Amidst this grief, we continue to find solace in remembering him in the little things. Of all the hobbies he excelled at, running was one of them. In memory of our friend, the three of us will be running the Fort Lauderdale A1A Half Marathon on February 18th.

Through this endeavor, our goal is to spread awareness about the importance of prioritizing and developing resources for mental health. We have decided to donate all of our proceeds to Active Minds. Active Minds is a nonprofit organization that promotes mental health through peer discussion and interaction. We plan on donating specifically to the Harvard University chapter of Active Minds as our friend was a student at Harvard. We are very excited to contribute our funds to such an amazing organization and to play a part in helping others in their mental health journeys. Any donation, no matter what size, will be greatly appreciated and we a very grateful for your support!
