Why I’m Running
On May 3rd, I’ll be running The O.C. Half Marathon—13.1 miles that represent strength, resilience, and hope. This race is more than a personal challenge for me; it’s a way to support Human Options, an organization dedicated to helping individuals and families affected by domestic violence.

Human Options provides life-saving services, including safe shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, and education to help survivors rebuild their lives. Their work empowers people to move from crisis to independence, and I’m proud to run in support of such a meaningful cause.

Why This Matters
Domestic violence affects people from all walks of life, often in unseen ways. Survivors deserve safety, support, and the chance to heal, and that’s exactly what Human Options works tirelessly to provide every day. By fundraising for this organization, I hope to raise awareness and help ensure these critical services remain available to those who need them most.

How You Can Help
With my birthday coming up, I’m asking for something a little different this year. Instead of gifts, I’d be incredibly grateful for any donation, big or small, to support Human Options. Every contribution makes a real impact.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page with friends and family is just as meaningful. Your support, encouragement, and generosity truly mean the world to me and will carry me through every mile of this race.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. 

Con mucho, mucho amor - Evelyn 💜🏃‍♀️
