The Fourth Annual YOU ARE ENOUGH 5K Was a Blast!
When I started the YOU ARE ENOUGH campaign I never thought that I would be organizing 5Ks and after putting on four of them I am so glad I made the decision to do so! Sure, the event is one that gives folks a chance to hang out in beautiful Hermosa Beach while getting in a little exercise and some cool swag. But most importantly the event is about connecting and being with a community that understands the importance of helping others feel worthy, seen, and supported. We all struggle with feeling into our ENOUGH from time to time and the 5K is an awesome reminder of this and how we are not alone when we do not feel worthy. The event was held on the Hermosa/Manhattan Beach Strand with the Fifth Annual 5K slated to be held at the same location next May 22, 2027.
The Fourth Annual YOU ARE ENOUGH 5K that was held on May 30th brought in more than 500 individuals from all over LA County with major sponsors as happy Products, Kinecta, Lindberg Nutrition, Phuket Thai, PlayOn Relief, the NOW Massage Redondo Beach, Sun Powder, and Gitana Coffee. Partial proceeds go towards helping us share the phrase YOU ARE ENOUGH on billboards throughout Los Angeles.
We had a "first" with the co-founder of PlayOn Relief, Jordan Battaglia, attempting to set a world record by doing the most lunges on the course for the first hour and then setting his own record by lunging the entire course! Jordan set out to do lunges on the course in an effort to raise more awareness for men's mental health and had quite the fan base by the time he reached the finish line.
Here are just a few photos that hopefully will give you a feel for how we came together as a community that gets the importance of helping others feel worthy!
