For the entire month of December, I will be running to raise money for Worthy Mentoring. Worthy is an app primarily for members of the LGBTQ+ community who may be struggling. The app connects mentors with mentees to help LGBTQ+ folks who may be having a hard time coming out to their parents or loved ones, who may feel they are targeted or vulnerable in a place they should be able to call home, or are facing other difficult challenges or experiences with their identity. 
While a global pandemic has made forming and sustaining new and meaningful connections difficult for everyone, the impact is especially great among members of the LGBTQ+ community, who now may find it more difficult than before to find others with whom they can identify. Worthy is a great solution for bringing members of the community together in a safe environment. 
All money raised will be donated directly to Worthy Mentoring in order to support app development, server costs, and background checks for mentors. To get things started, I will be donating $1 for every mile that I run from December 1st through December 31st. I'm asking for your help to motivate me to run as many miles possible! Would you please consider pledging to donate anywhere between $0.01 and $1.00 per mile that I run during the month of December? 

    Fill out the form below to pledge toward Worthy Mentoring

    By clicking submit below, you agree to donate the amount that you have indicated multiplied by the number of miles run by Derek when asked during the first week of January 2021 to submit your donation.
