There is no registration fee, but we encourage all participants to reach out to their family and friends to raise discussion on mental health and help us reach our fundraising goal of $7,500. All funds raised will go to local mental health projects (75%) and national initiatives (25%) toward positive mental health promotion and access to support services. 1 in 5 Canadians live with a mental illness, many of whom are suffering in silence. This could be a friend, family member, or neighbour; by showing your support, you are helping to reduce the stigma.
