Abel is Running to End Youth Homelessness!
A nonprofit fundraiser supporting
My Friend's Place$1,304
raised by 25 people
$1,000 goal
When the pandemic hit I was seeking an outlet to exercise, clear my head, and spend time outdoors. I picked up running -- the first time since high school -- and quickly fell in love.
When My Friend's Place annouced they were putting together a team for the 2021 LA Marathon I thought this was a wonderful opportunity to (a) support a charity that I love (b) challenge myself to try something I never thought I'd be able to do and (c) celebrate a decade of living in LA.
I am raising $1000 for homeless youth in Hollywood. My Friend's Place does amazing work keeping young people safe, provide them with opportunities to develop job and life skills, clothe and feed them. I've been proud to work closely with the team for several years now, and am beyond excited to run for Team MFP!
Please consider donating. Any amount helps me get to my goal. And wish me luck! 26.2 miles?!? Never thought I could do this. Yet here we are 😂
