Dear friend,
I’m running in the 2025 Grandma’s marathon to raise awareness for suicide prevention. Three of my daughters want to join me in supporting this important cause. To secure their spots as charity runners, they each need to raise $750 by April 30. Every dollar goes to AFSP and supports critical suicide prevention efforts, including 988—the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, which provides free, 24/7 support to those in crisis and to the loved ones left hurting in the aftermath of suicide.
Let’s reduce suicide in our world. You can help by doing one of the following:
- Make a donation – Every contribution brings us closer to our goal and helps people in need.
2. Join the race as a charity runner – The marathon is full, but you can still run the full or half marathons by joining our team and fundraising $750.
3. Spread the word – Share the message about 988. Someone you know might need it.
4. Read about American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP):
The countdown to race day is ticking:
Join me in spirit - let's move together to raise awareness and support for those in need.
A. Listen to my running playlist on 6/21/2025 at 7:45 am.
B. Help keep me motivated during my marathon training by suggesting a song to add to my playlist - your support means the world.
'Spirit in the Sky' plays every hour to remind me to hydrate - just as we should nourish ourselves in life.
Resources: For those struggling with thoughts of suicide, as well as for those affected by it. God's love is not an option - it is a reality for all, if only we open our eyes to it. God's love is the greatest antidote to pain, offering healing and hope to everyone.
