All donations collected will go directly to help residents of Stepping Stone.\n\n“Please help me raise money for the residents of Stepping Stone. I am running this event to bring awareness to the issue of homelessness and the impacts of mental health struggles on the lives of those experiencing homelessness. \nThe cost to shelter a resident for one night is $45\, so by raising $9\,000 dollars\, together\, we will provide for 200 nights of shelter to help our neighbors become stably housed. \nMy story with Stepping Stone began as a volunteer in the kitchen\, helping to serve and prepare meals. From there\, I helped with the Jobs Club and mentoring of residents. At that time\, I was a business owner and business coach.  When our youngest son\, Waylon\, died by suicide in 2019\, my priorities shifted and I made the decision to help the residents of Stepping Stone in a more direct way\, so I joined the team to help build support for our neighbors experiencing homelessness. \nI ran my first marathon in 2011\, just after I turned 40.  I dreamed of completing a marathon each decade to welcome in the next chapter of my life. I’m a year late because of\, you know\, COVID\, but here I go to celebrate my 51st birthday! \nPlease join me in changing lives by contributing to this fundraising event!” \n\nJoin Jeff by Donating or Running!\n  URL:https://steppingstoneeh.org/event/running-to-end-homelessness/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://steppingstoneeh.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Grandmas-Marathon.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Jeff Conner":MAILTO:jeff.conner@steppingstoneeh.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220325T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220325T203000 DTSTAMP:20220324T034032Z CREATED:20200117T025424Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220324T034032Z UID:2674-1648229400-1648240200@steppingstoneeh.org SUMMARY:Real Stories | One Stage 2022 DESCRIPTION:Online Auction Now Live!
