Running the Half-Marathon for Indiana Youth Group
According to a 2021 study by The Trevor Project, the estimated total number of LGBTQ youth ages 13–24 who attempted suicide in the past year was 712,990. This equates to 1,953.40 (1,954) people per day. So, in order to drive awareness to this alarming statistic, I will be running the upcoming Indy Monumental Half Marathon for the Indiana Youth Group, Inc.
The Indiana Youth Group creates safer spaces to foster community and provides programming that empowers LGBTQ+ youth and magnifies their voices. Want to join me in making a difference?
