Jogging 4 Journals

Just did a presentation at Harbor Hospital, and I have to say that the patients on the units are truly my heroes and are very brave. Some have been used and abused, have lost everything and everyone, and are still fighting to stay alive! That is heroic to me 💪

It’s been more than 2 years since I’ve posted in here (thanks Covid) but I’m back and Jogging 4 Journals is back! I just started back with presentations so I will be giving journals to patients at Harbor Hospital once a month! And I will have a table at 3 Out of the Darkness Walks for su***de prevention in September and October where walkers can write their own encouraging messages to the patients! Glad to be back!! ☺️

I had a presentation at Harbor Hospital on Wednesday and the patients loved the journals! Two of the patients already had journals from J4J and one of them told me that when the tech gave it to her, she saw the message on the inside and she teared up. She said that it was a wonderful message and she really felt loved. So happy we are helping people 😊

I know that Christmas is right around the corner, and I am still selling the “You Are Loved” books that I self-publishing earlier this year!

As you know, the “You Are Loved” book is a compilation of true stories of hope and encouragement. If you’ve ever struggled with mental illness or lost someone to su***de, or know someone who has, this book is for you.

“You Are Loved” will give you hope, encouragement, and the knowledge that you are not alone!

All proceeds from the sale of this book go to Jogging 4 Journals, to help give the coping skill of journaling to inpatients with mental illness.

If you’d like to buy a copy of “You Are Loved” please go to www.paypal.com and enter email address [email protected]. Please donate $5 if you’d like to pick up your book and $8 if you’d like it shipped. If you’d like it shipped, please include your address in the “notes” section. $5 goes to buying journals for 10 patients!

Thank you!

Thank you so much for your donation to Jogging 4 Journals, Cate!! Thank you for always supporting J4J!! You are awesome!!

I finished the race in under an hour! Fun fact: Over the past 7 years I have earned 19 medals! I am so proud of myself!

I am also proud of myself for starting Jogging 4 Journals almost 4 years ago! We have given a couple thousand journals to inpatients with mental illness to let them know that they are loved, they are not alone, and they are brave! If you’d like to help me with this project, you can donate to the cause! Just go to www.paypal.com and enter email address [email protected]. Thank you so much!!

It’s early but I’m here at the BRF, ready to start Jogging 4 Journals!! So exciting!!

Sooo excited about the Baltimore 5k tomorrow! Got a pic with Blue, the Baltimore Running Festival crab, and got my shirt and bib! I LOVE the shirt! Very cool!

I did two presentations this week, at Harbor and Franklin Square Hospitals. Presentations went great and, as always, the patients love the journals and appreciate them so much!! One person at FSH had already gotten a journal and she told me that it helped her so much and thanked me. No thanks needed, I’m just so grateful that we are helping people!! Thank you for your support, everyone!! 😊

Hi friends! I am looking for other ways to fundraise for Jogging 4 Journals and wanted your opinions on ways that you would be more likely to contribute. If you were to help fundraise, which way would you be more likely to do so: 1) virtual 5k or 2 miler run/ walk (I would actually like to do this in May 2020 if people want to do it), 2) meditation event, 3) spirit night at a restaurant or other place, 4) donation of journals themselves, 5) straight donation through PayPal. Please comment either the number or whatever else you would like to do that i did not think of. Thank you!!!
