Dallas, United States, 10/08/2021 / Qamar Zaman /
Hi! I’m Brooke DiPalma, a 25-year-old from Long Island, New York running the 2021 NYC Marathon with Team AFSP. You see, I wouldn’t consider myself “a runner” per se, in fact I’ve only run one half marathon, but this past year changed that.

So honored to run the @nycmarathon for @afspnational !! So thankful for the @psiloveyouday community. https://t.co/BIJmmrC4As

Never in my wildest dream would I picture myself running the NYC Marathon, but after this year, I just want to run – I want to run for all those who are too at home, stuck in their thoughts and I want to show them – you can too be free.
It is a true honor to run on behalf of Team AFSP, but it is a greater honor to run and represent all those are battling a mental illness and those who we have lost their life to a mental illness.
Let’s talk, let’s break the stigma and let’s RUN. Since we lost my dad on April 23rd, 2010, I have always associated the number 23 with this loss.
It is crucial to say the name of those we lost, I hope to honor their memory – I am thankful for all those angels who will be running with me on this day.
