She wrote this to herself. 🤍
We are often so much kinder to the people we love than we are to ourselves. We show up for them, speak gently to them, tell them they matter — and then turn around and say things to ourselves we would never say to anyone else.
Alana figured something out. That the love we give has to come back home. To us. That we are worth the same tenderness we offer everyone else. 💛
What would it look like to talk to yourself like someone you love?
Tag someone who needs this reminder today. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

This run is about more than miles. We run for Alana. We run for LGBTQ+ youth who deserve affirming care and a community that shows up for them. We run because together, we can make a difference. 💜

She was an artist, an athlete, a musician, a dreamer. A daughter, a sister, a friend who gave more than she ever asked for in return. She was also a young LGBTQ+ person who deserved a world that knew how to hold her. 💜
We started this run because we couldn’t stay still. Grief has a way of asking you to move — and we chose to move together, in her name, toward something better.
Every year we gather at the intersection of Mental Health Awareness Month and Pride because Alana lived at that intersection. And far too many young people still do.
We run for Alana. We run for the kids who are still here and fighting. We run because together, we have the power to change what’s next.
June 7th. Will you run with us? 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
RSVP at the link in bio. 💛
Registration is officially open! Are you ready to run? 🏃🏻♀️ This year’s Run for Alana will be happening Sunday, June 7th!
Join us in person at @odellbrewingsloans or virtually wherever you are to raise $10,000 for LGBTQ+ mental health. 🌈

A lesson for springtime from Alana 🌼⬇️
Now is the time to take care of yourself like a garden. Give yourself permission not only to dream, but to take real steps towards those dreams. ✨ Spring is for new beginnings and sowing seeds for the year ahead. Your future self will thank you! 💜
