IAM community member Laur is running 21.1 km – but it’s about more than crossing the finish line.

For Laur, running the Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon is about showing up for herself while
carrying the voices and stories of those impacted by mental health challenges.

“By taking on this half marathon, I want to challenge myself physically while helping to spark change and raise awareness for a cause that impacts so many lives.”

Laur is one of many inspiring runners supporting IAM’s mental health programs and support services.
