Help Stephanie Stone reach her goal to fundraise $4,000 toward the Standing With Her Scholarship.  

Hi! My name is Stephanie Stone, and I am the Standing With You (SWY) Coordinator for Students for Life of America. I am running a 5K in September with my two babies to raise money for student moms in need through our Standing With Her Scholarship. If I reach my goal of $4,000, that will bless two moms who apply for the scholarship in Spring 2026. 

My Why: 

Two years ago, I got pregnant after many unsuccessful years of trying, and almost immediately after having my first baby, I got pregnant again. Though the most beautiful blessing, having two babies under two can come with great struggles, including physical ones. I gained over 50 pounds and lost much of my confidence and endurance. Running around after two little ones, working a full-time job, and now attending classes in the evenings, I knew I needed to get back in shape to show my babies that anything is possible. 

So, I started running! As much as I dislike running, I have been able to lose almost 40 pounds while working full-time and passing my first four Graduate School courses! I never thought this would be possible, but my support system has pushed me through. 

And now, I want to be a support system to other young mothers who are going through the process of bettering themselves for their babies! No woman should feel like she has to choose between her education (or her well-being!) and her children. Help me raise $4,000 to help alleviate tuition burdens on two young moms next year.
