Team MFP: Running for Unhoused Young People!

$4,936

I am doing the LA Charity Challenge Half Marathon for Team My Friend's Place for a second time!

Please join me in supporting the extremely good work that My Friend's Place is doing for young people experiencing homelessness in our city. MFP's mission is to assist and inspire young people experiencing homelessness to move towards wellness, stability, and to build self-sufficient lives. Every year MFP offers comprehensive services to over 1000 young people (ages 12-30 + their children).

Me and Michael on Team MFP in 2022 (below) deliriously happy to have just crossed the finish line. At the time, it was the furthest I had ever run in one go!
