It is with pleasure that I am raising money for Dreamfar High School Marathon, an organization that I have been a part of for 7 years (and counting). As a school psychologist, I believe strongly in the connection between exercise and mental health. Setting goals, learning to be flexible and changing them as needed (without judgment), working together with others, and forming meaningful connections with peers and adults also has a positive impact on one's mental health, in addition to being valuable life skills to implement in this "Marathon of Life."
In my time as a leader and mentor, students have shared with me that, through the process of training for either a marathon or half marathon, they have grown in confidence and belief in themselves. Further, they perceive that having trained for a distance race enabled them to feel more confident in other areas of their life.
Dreamfar is a nonprofit organization and relies on grants and fundraising to provide the program at no cost to our student athletes. These costs include race entry fees for the students, nutrition and hydration support during training, certified coaching, and even will provide needed gear for any student who cannot afford it.
