Gerardo Diaz
Gerardo Diaz
Story
Hi all!
Allow me to introduce myself a bit. My name is Gerardo Diaz, I'm 24 years old, and I'm raising money for suicide awareness. I myself battled depression head on for many years. But after a long and treacherous journey of self love, I have finally found myself today in a space where I can comfortably say I won.
I started running in the later half of 2023. I come from no running background and was not a huge fan of running. That was until I found Spartan and became part of this welcoming community that pushes me to new limits. It was through Spartan that I realized I'm unbreakable.
This year I will be running competition heats and taking part in the Spartan Trifecta World Championship in Greece this November. The event will span 3 days from the 1st to the 3rd, and I will be running on each day. I am not someone striving for 1st place. I am someone who is running to represent and honor those that we have lost, for those still fighting their battle, and for myself to prove I am stronger than I once was.
I do like to document and record my races. If you'd like to follow along and see footage of these races, as well as my fitness journey+training, it can all be found on my instagram @short.spartan
My goal is to raise money leading up to the Trifecta World Championship, and to donate to the charity SAVE (Suicide Awareness Voices of Education)
Their mission is to prevent suicide through education, training, and peer support programs and serve as a resource for those touched by suicide.
The orginization also offers bereavement resources to those who have lost a loved one to suicide.
You can help me reach my fundraising goal by making a secure online donation and by posting a message of support. Any and all contributions will be greatly appreciated!
Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly to the charity SAVE, and a tax receipt will be automatically issued to you.
Thanks so much for your support!
See ya at the finish line!
