Minding Your Mind was honored to have been named an Official Charity Partner for the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon, the world’s most popular marathon, taking place on November 6, 2022.
This year, we had more inquiries to run on behalf of Minding Your Mind than ever before. The 2022 Team Minding Your Mind is made up of eleven women, ten with our guaranteed entries as a Charity Partner, and one who received a bib through the lottery and chose to raise funds for us on her own. Together, these women will raise over $30,000 for mental health education and suicide prevention programs throughout the country. We are humbled and grateful for their connection to our mission and confidence in our programs.
Each came with their own reasons why our mission resonated with them and inspired them to put their all into this year’s marathon. There are a few who are still actively fundraising for the $3,000 pledge they made; if you are considering making a donation to Minding Your Mind this year, please help these runners reach their goals.

Bryn wanted to run the marathon to raise awareness for mental health and reduce the stigma around it. In her experience as a college athlete, mental health was undermined and undervalued compared to physical health and strength. She wants to promote these important conversations within college athletics and remind athletes of all ages that mental health is just as important as physical health! It’s okay not to be okay and to ask for help. Bryn wants to be a part of promoting the conversations, not suppressing them!
Bryn hopes her fundraising efforts will allow for more students to hear Minding Your Mind’s presentations and learn to be attentive and caring of their mental wellness. Donate to Bryn here.
