Announcement: Mind Over Miles: 24-Hour Challenge🏃♂️ I am thrilled to announce an upcoming event dedicated to raising awareness for mental health and suicide prevention! On April 13th and 14th, Myself and some close friends will be embarking on a monumental journey: running for 24 hours straight to support those in need. This incredible endeavor is more than just a run; it's a mission to ignite conversations, break stigmas, and offer hope to those battling with mental health challenges. Through this event, I aim to shed light on the importance of mental wellness and the need for accessible support systems. All proceeds from this fundraiser will be directed to two esteemed charities in Buffalo, devoted to suicide prevention and mental health initiatives. Together, we can make a difference in our community and beyond. How You Can Help:    •  Donate: Every contribution, no matter the size, counts towards our collective impact.

As our 1 in 5 Campaign comes to a close on World Mental Health Day, we’re reminded of the powerful stories that have been shared—stories of resilience and hope. The truth is, mental illness affects us all. It’s a mother, a brother, a friend. It’s 1 in 5 Canadians, each living a story that deserves our attention, our understanding, and our support. But raising awareness is only the first step. To create real change, we need to act. Your donation today can directly impact the lives of those who are struggling in silence. It can help fund crucial mental health services, provide access to therapy, and give someone the hope they need to keep going. If 1 in 5 Albertans gave to this campaign, imagine the lives that could be changed. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. Support this fight for mental wellness. Donate now to the Mental Health Foundation’s 1 in 5 Campaign via the link in our bio and stand with those who need us most. Together, we can create a healthier, more compassionate Alberta. We have a better future in mind, and we hope you do too. #OneInFive_AB #MentalHealthMatters #SupportMentalHealth #DonateNow

PUSH-UP CHALLENGE // Yup, we're doing it!! Well... actually... Lee Stevens is doing it. He's jumped in with Adam Cheyne MPIA and the Urbankind team because Annie and Nicholas have no upper body strength. Nadda. Zilch. And anyway, Annie has to take the photos and video, and Nick has to count the reps to keep Lee honest. 😉 Sooooo, it would be great to get people on board and support our fundraising efforts. Here's the link to make a donation > https://lnkd.in/gKwvGZ94 Why? Mental Health is something Nick and Lee are really passionate about... particularly men's mental health and navigating fatherhood with life. It's something we should talk about more. So much more. And The Push-Up Challenge is Australia's largest mental health and fitness event that supports charities to deliver crisis support initiatives, programs and services that help in the prevention and early intervention of depression, anxiety and suicide. We can't think of any better reason to give this a go, starting today. Please make a pledge, and we'll keep you up-to-date on our progress over the next 24 days. #pushforbetter #vividrecruitment #clearandsimple #mentalhealth
