Bananas for Brighter Futures!

By Tegan Broster

Help me support the mental health of young people

Hey there! 
 

This year, I’m going bananas - literally. 

I’ll be running the Husky Marathon dressed head to toe in a banana outfit, and I’m doing it all for a cause that matters; supporting brighter futures for young people who need it most. 

Why? Because everyone deserves the chance to grow, dream, and thrive - and sometimes all it takes is a little extra help, encouragement, and opportunity. Whether it’s access to mental health resources, education, or safe spaces, your support can make a real difference. 

 

So, here’s the deal: 

I’ll sweat, shuffle, and peel myself through 42.2 kilometres in a banana outfit. 

You donate whatever you can. 

Together, we bring some hope, help, and hilarity into the world. 

 

Your donation directly supports youth mental health. 

Every step I take in this ridiculous costume is powered by your generosity - and trust me, it’s going to get weird (and sweaty), but it’s all worth it. 

Help me hit my goal, share the laughs, and support the mission by donating today. 

Let’s go Bananas for Brighter Futures! 

Thanks a bunch, 

Teegs

I am absolutely blown away — we’ve hit $2000!

I honestly can’t thank you enough for the love and support. It’s so heartwarming to see so many people rally behind youth mental health.

More than anything, I hope this fundraiser continues to raise not just funds, but the awareness this cause so desperately needs. Every share, donation, and message means the world.

Thank you for backing this with your whole heart. Let's keep going!!!

We did it!!

$1,000 raised for youth mental health!

I’m honestly blown away and so, so grateful. As many of you know, youth mental health is something incredibly close to my heart — and something that urgently needs more funding, support, and awareness.

I hope this not only helps provide some of that support, but also chips away at the stigma that still surrounds mental health. You’d think with how many people are affected, we’d be further along — but there’s still so much work to do.

And now… I’ve decided to increase my goal and shoot for the stars 🌟

You guys have been absolutely amazing, and I’m so incredibly thankful for every donation, share, and kind word. It means more than you know.

Let’s keep the momentum going — for youth mental health, for hope, and for change 💛

Thank you to my Sponsors

That’s such an incredible way to support such an important cause! Mental health impacts so many people in ways we don’t always see, and your commitment to making a difference, while dressed as a banana, no less.. is nothing short of inspiring. I’m so proud of you for not only running a marathon (which is already huge!) but doing it with such purpose and heart. Thank you for shining a light on mental health awareness and creating opportunities for young people to grow, dream, and thrive. Every step you take in that banana suit will bring laughter, hope, and real change into the world. You’re amazing! 🍌💛
