🏃🏽‍♀️✨ Running Toward Freedom: The 17th Annual Race to Embrace Independence ✨🏃‍♂️

👟 Every step taken at our Race to Embrace Independence 5K is more than a stride—it’s a symbol of strength, healing, and hope. As we celebrate our 17th year of this powerful event, we’re reminded that the women we proudly serve are on an empowering healing journey to independence that is not a sprint, but a marathon filled with courage, community, and transformation.

💪🏾 This year, we asked some of our residents what Marian House means to them. Their words remind us why we race:

💙 “After going to more recovery houses than I can count on my hands, Marian House is the only place with the resources, skills, and love to really help me. Marian House is about the people who work there. The people at Marian House have helped me take my broken crown, put it back together, and they help me hold it on my head when the world gets heavy. They remind me in my weakest moments that I CAN…I am LOVED…and I DESERVE…”—Quay

💙 “Marian House was my last hope. I learned that we are more alike than we are different. I learned to trust myself and believe that I can overcome anything. I learned that I have the ability to adapt and attain anything I set my mind to and to not be afraid to ask for help.”—Stephanie

💙 “I instantly felt peace when I walked into Marian House. I would describe Marian House as a beautiful place that is welcoming. At Marian House, people are supporting women’s independence. They are supporting each step, so Marian House does not have to rush women. They are helping women find their independence and place back in the world.”—Shenequa

💙 “Marian House is a safe haven—a place of love, hope, and healing with structure and growth”—Belle

💫 Transformation is more than a moment—it’s a movement. Be part of it at the 17th Annual Race to Embrace Independence 5K.
