Shout out to support Al Lagunas !!
Sunday I’ll be running the Chicago Marathon to raise money for Strides for Peace, a Chicago-based nonprofit dedicated to ending gun violence. Strides for Peace empowers local organizations working on the frontlines to create a safer, more peaceful Chicago. This cause hits close to home for me. The early part of my life was spent in Chicago’s inner city and I have vivid memories of gunfire outside our door and windows. For me, living in constant fear of gun violence was just a normal part of my childhood. But it doesn't have to be that way. That’s why I’m raising $2,500 to support Strides for Peace and their mission to stop gun violence, elevate collaboration, and save lives. Every dollar helps us get closer to a safer Chicago, where kids won’t have to grow up under the same circumstances I did. 👉 Donate Here: https://lnkd.in/g323DnU9 I believe in this city, and I want to raise a family here one day. Together, we can make Chicago stronger and create a future where safety and peace are the norm, not the exception.

I never post on Linkedin, but if there were ever a time to start, it's now... in just 11 days, I’ll be hitting the pavement for the Chicago Marathon🏃🏽♀️ (yikes, time flies) I’m excited to be running for Strides for Peace, a fantastic nonprofit dedicated to preventing gun violence in Chicago. This cause really hits home for many of us, and I’m determined to make a positive impact! That’s where you come in! I'm calling on people to support my run with a donation. Every dollar, whether it's $5 or $50, helps make a difference. You can contribute right here:https://lnkd.in/gnkGfVBU Your support would mean the world to me—and to everyone who benefits from the amazing work Strides For Peace is doing. Also, I’ll be sharing updates and celebrating the big day on my personal IG (@tra_ash), so stay tuned! Thanks so much for being part of my marathon journey. 11 days until 26.2 miles😬
