Hi everyone!
Most of you know by now that I am the race coordinator for the JWB5k. While I am taking on a new role I want everyone to know that I will continue to fight for those that are unfortunate enough to diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Purple Stride is still so near and dear to my heart.
The Bricks have been family friends from before I was born so this cause means so much to me. Mental illness is a disease that affects so many of us, whether it's depression once in a while or schizophrenia. The effects don't end with the person, they flow into their family and their friends lives. I've had family members who have suffered and I have also had depression and anxiety issues, most of you know about our fertility issues and it has taken it's toll. This is something we all need to talk about, be open about and be okay with.
The main thing that I love about this organization is how they want to introduce exercise and holistic practices into the healing process. Throughout Victor's brother's treatment exercise was never introduced. Can you imagine if it had been? One of the ways that I have started to feel more like myself is through exercise, damn it works! Now let's get everyone feeling better!
I hope that you will either join my team or donate to this cause, we all know someone who could benefit from this!
Thank you guys so much,
Annie
my race team
