Why am I fundraising?
To support my friend Geetha, her family, and countless individuals and families who will benefit from continued research and services related to mental illness. In loving memory of Geetha’s beloved Priya, who would be 32 this October. I appreciate your support in helping me to fund and fuel hope and healing.
