The Mental Health Heroes Virtual 5k Race

It is imperative that our community recognize, embrace, understand, and help those who struggle with mental health. One in five Americans are affected by mental illness in their lifetime, and two-thirds of the people who have a mental illness do not seek the help that they need. With The Mental Health Heroes Virtual 5K Race, you are given the opportunity to highlight the importance of exercise as a coping strategy and end the stigma associated with mental health. This is the first of many outlets that will be created to give a face to this issue, a voice to the community, and an understanding of the coping strategies for the common issues regarding mental health. Take a stand, put on your running shoes, and become a Mental Health Hero today! Donations are appreciated. All donations will be submitted directly to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
