Running With Purpose

Help me help First Responders

Hello! I trust this email finds you well.

I’m excited to share that I’ve joined the Survive First Racing Team to run in the 50th Anniversary of the Marine Corps Marathon this October! I’m running not just for the challenge, but to support a cause that’s close to my heart—saving lives and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health in the first responder community.

First responders face overwhelming stress and trauma every day. Tragically, they are more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty. That’s why I’m raising funds to support Survive First, a nonprofit dedicated to normalizing mental health conversations, reducing stigma, and providing life-saving resources to the heroes who serve and protect us.

Will you please support me in this mission? Every donation—big or small—makes an impact and brings us one step closer to saving lives.

Check out my fundraising page and please consider making a donation to help me reach my goal of [Your Fundraiser's Goal Will Automatically Go Here].

I’m excited to share that I’ve joined the Survive First Racing Team to run in the 50th Anniversary of the Marine Corps Marathon this October! Why am I running? Because first responders—our everyday heroes—are more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty. It’s time to break the stigma, normalize mental health conversations, and save lives. I’m raising funds to support Survive First, a nonprofit dedicated to helping first responders and their families get the mental health resources they need to stay strong and resilient. I need your help! Every donation makes a difference. Together, we can support the brave men and women who protect us every day. Thank you for standing with me and supporting our first responders! #SurviveFirst #MarineCorpsMarathon #BreakTheStigma #FirstResponderMentalHealth #RunForResponders #STRONG

Hi [Donor Name],

I can’t thank you enough for supporting my journey with the Survive First Racing Team as I prepare to run the 50th Anniversary of the Marine Corps Marathon!

Your generous donation isn’t just helping me reach my goal—it’s changing lives. In 2024 alone, Survive First granted over $65,000 in treatment funding through their Treatment Assistance Fund, providing first responders with access to critical mental health care. They also launched the HOPE (Helping Our Protectors Endure) education program, delivering training and resources to build resilience and break the stigma around mental health in the first responder community.

Because of your support, Survive First can continue these life-saving programs - offering hope, healing, and help to those who dedicate their lives to protecting us.

Thank you for being part of this mission with me. Together, we’re making a difference—one step and one life at a time.

This is such a worthy cause and I'm proud that we're on the same team.

I'll keep you posted on our progress. In the meantime, I recommend that you check out Survive First. They're doing great work. You can find them at www.survivefirst.us, as well as on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

Thanks again for your donation!
