💚Mental Health Matters 5k & Festival is all about creating awareness, support, and uplifting the community, all while celebrating running and movement in the process.

👇🏼 Purpose behind the 5K and festival:
💚 We all have mental health and go through times that can challenge it, diagnosis or not.

💚 This race is a reminder everyone has their own "stuff" that their dealing with. You never know what someone is going through, be kind.

💚 We want to foster a community or support, the race serves as a reminder you're not alone, to not feel ashamed to speak up or reach out...because when you do, more often than not..others will say "me too".

💚 Empower the younger generation, know that we can all do hard things and also ask and accept help

💚 There is power in running, movement, and community

💚 Provide the opportunity to explore and talk with different groups and resources

💚 Create awareness, reduce stigma

💚 Celebrate how far you've come

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be kind
Kindness helps improve mental and physical health, strengthening social connections, and creating a more positive community.

It boosts mood and self-esteem, lowers stress and blood pressure by releasing hormones like oxytocin and endorphins

Acts of kindness are contagious and create a ripple effect, encouraging others to be kind and fostering a more supportive and connected society.

You never know what someone is going through, always be kind. It costs nothing but means everything. Spread it far and wide!!
