The 5k will be our 7th Annual, presented by the Beads, Beats & Better Minds Foundation, a Non-Profit whose mission is to support active minds and uplift young adults, their family and peers. We want to focus foremost on
MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS! Mental Health/Dis+ease is a social dilemma that's greatly damaging our communities. The fact is either not readily addressed, quietly spoken about or simply ignored.
The Fort Mardi Gras 5k is designed to address Mental Health /Dis+ease by promoting proper exercise, creating healthy minds, coordinating wellness and encouraging mental stability.
Approaches as such are preventive measures that will enable us all VICTORIOUS! Together we will raise awareness while embracing diversity, supporting one another and using this stance to help direct hundreds of lives as we get closer to defeating mental dis+ease to the fullest extent possible.
