About this race

The Butterfly Effect Project Inc. exists to break down financial barriers that prevent individuals from accessing essential mental health and wellness services in Southern Maryland. Rooted in the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and thrive, this fund supports those navigating economic hardship, insurance limitations, or systemic inequities that make therapy and wellness care inaccessible.

Inspired by the transformative journey of the butterfly, The Butterfly Effect Project Inc. offers a safe space where individuals can begin their healing process and move toward meaningful change, one step at a time.
