A MESSAGE FROM Tori's Fundraising Page
This year, I’m running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon with Team Minding Your Mind, and every mile will be dedicated to supporting mental health awareness and education.
This cause is deeply personal to me. Last year, my family lost my uncle to suicide. His passing profoundly impacted all of us and reminded me how important it is to talk openly about mental health, reduce stigma, and ensure people know they are not alone. Running this marathon is my way of honoring his memory while supporting an organization that is working every day to change the conversation around mental health.
Minding Your Mind is dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health through education, storytelling, and open conversations — particularly with young people. Their programs bring powerful personal stories and mental health education into schools and communities, helping individuals recognize warning signs, seek help, and support one another.
Many of Minding Your Mind’s programs are offered on a donate-as-able basis so that schools and organizations can access these life-saving conversations regardless of their financial situation. Each presentation costs the organization approximately $500 to deliver, which means fundraising and donations are essential to continuing their work.
Thank you for supporting Team Minding Your Mind and for helping make a difference. Your donation will directly support these programs and help expand access to mental health education for communities that need it most.
Minding Your Mind is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your contribution is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. No goods or services were provided in exchange for your donation. Tax ID# 20-8448707.
