Hi all, and welcome to my fundraising page! I have been blessed to beat my goal 4 times over since I started raising money for children's mental health last week! I am hoping to beat it yet again with your help. Normally I volunteer at The Butterfly Run but since this year it's virtual I decided to participate instead. It warms my heart that so many are willing to help raise awareness. If you should happen to donate thank you so much, it really means the world to me. If you can't, that's ok too, I just appreciate you taking the time to read this and maybe you can be an advocate too.

I started working in the mental health field 4 years ago and it has been the best experience ever. It has opened my eyes to the enormous need to break mental health stigmas and be an advocate for children's mental health. It has even inspired me to get my degree in psychology so I can advance my knowledge and help even more!

The Butterfly Run, presented by Big Lots, is a community fitness event to grow awareness, break stigmas, and raise funds for lifesaving pediatric behavioral health research at Nationwide Children's Hospital. More than just another 5K run and walk, The Butterfly Run is an event for anyone around the country to come together to advocate and improve outcomes for children living with mental illness. Invest in the future of children's mental health.  Join me in this On Our Sleeves movement for children’s mental health.

All donations are tax-deductible and will be acknowledged by Nationwide Children’s Foundation.

On behalf of the patients and families of Nationwide Children’s Hospital, thank you for your support!
