Why I’m Running for the Hills (and Why You Should Support Me)

Hello, this Father's Day, I am going to Bella Vista Farm for Run for the Hills by myself without my dad .
I have signed up for the run for my dad, Raymond Leslie. The photo above is of me and my dad 8 years ago. This is going to be my first Father's Day without him. Last year, a week after his birthday, he passed away at age 63. I am running this in celebration of him, to show him I will continue to do hard things because of him. I am also partially running this for me to not be crying alone on a day meant for fresh air and family fun.
Your donation will go directly to Positive Vibes Foundation because mental health has affected you or at least one of your loved ones. For myself, this impact stays close to home. Doing hobbies like running and art brings a smile to my face, so I hope to raise this money to bring a smile to others through their programs like Women's Shed Painting and Dog Visits.
Please consider donating to my page and help me turn this one-day event into a long-term change. Let’s run for hope, for healing, for home. Let’s Run For The Hills!
