A MESSAGE FROM Breaking the Cycle: Henry's Marathon Fundraiser
Hi, I’m Henry! 

This year, I’m honored to run the NYC Marathon on behalf of Minding Your Mind, an incredible organization dedicated to ending the stigma around mental health through education and suicide prevention programs

As someone born in Brooklyn and raised in North Jersey, running this marathon feels especially meaningful to me. Growing up, I faced the lasting mental health impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and trauma. My family has also navigated challenges like depression, anxiety, and alcoholism. These experiences inspired my mission to break the cycle of stigma and ensure that everyone has access to the support they need.

My healing journey began during college when I started therapy, and it transformed my life. Since then, I’ve shared my story at events, led mental health workshops, and worked to empower others to seek help and start conversations. 

Running has become a powerful outlet for me. Training for this marathon allows me to combine my passion for fitness with my dedication to mental health advocacy. You can learn more about my advocacy work at (henryll.com) and follow my running and mental health education journey on Instagram (@henrylll_). 

Minding Your Mind’s programs are transformative—they teach young people, starting as early as kindergarten, how to talk about their emotions and find positive ways to express themselves. They also feature young adult speakers who share their lived experiences, creating safe spaces for others to feel seen and understood. Many of these programs are provided on a donate-as-able basis, ensuring accessibility for all. 

Every donation supports Minding Your Mind’s life-changing programs and helps create a world where mental wellness is a priority for everyone. 

Thank you for your support!

¡Hola, soy Henry! 

Este año, tengo el honor de correr el Maratón de Nueva York en nombre de Minding Your Mind, una organización increíble dedicada a acabar con el estigma en torno a la salud mental a través de programas educativos y de prevención del suicidio

Como alguien nacido en Brooklyn y criado en el norte de Nueva Jersey, correr este maratón tiene un significado especialmente especial para mí. Al crecer, enfrenté las consecuencias duraderas de las Experiencias Adversas en la Infancia (EAI) y el trauma en mi salud mental. Mi familia también ha enfrentado desafíos como la depresión, la ansiedad y el alcoholismo. Estas experiencias inspiraron mi misión de romper el ciclo del estigma y garantizar que todos tengan acceso al apoyo que necesitan.

Mi camino de sanación comenzó en la universidad, cuando empecé terapia, y transformó mi vida. Desde entonces, he compartido mi historia en eventos, dirigido talleres de salud mental y trabajado para empoderar a otros a buscar ayuda e iniciar conversaciones. 

Correr se ha convertido en una poderosa vía de escape para mí. Entrenar para este maratón me permite combinar mi pasión por el ejercicio físico con mi dedicación a la defensa de la salud mental. Puedes conocer más sobre mi trabajo de defensa en (henryll.com) y seguir mis videos de entrenamiento y educación sobre salud mental en Instagram (@henrylll_).  

Los programas de Minding Your Mind son transformadores: enseñan a los jóvenes, desde preescolar, a hablar de sus emociones y a encontrar maneras positivas de expresarse. También cuentan con jóvenes adultos que comparten sus experiencias, creando espacios seguros para que otros se sientan valorados y comprendidos. Muchos de estos programas se ofrecen con donaciones según la disponibilidad, lo que garantiza la accesibilidad para todos. 

Cada donación apoya los programas transformadores de Minding Your Mind y ayuda a crear un mundo donde el bienestar mental sea una prioridad para todos. 

¡Gracias por su apoyo!
