  • Can be done anywhere: You can complete the 5K anywhere, at home, at the gym, at work, walking the dog in any state! 
  • Can be done at any date or time or spread out over a few days or weeks: You can split it up, for example, walking 1km a day. As long as you complete the total 5km distance by March 1st, it's all good.

How Your Fundraising Will Change Lives

Stigma, Shame and Fear

These obstacles profoundly influence an individual’s decision not to seek help when suffering from mental health challenges. Students often find themselves wrestling privately with frustration and despair as a mental health challenge dominates their life. Often too afraid to seek help from family, friends or health professionals due to stigma, fear of discrimination or shame. Most are not aware that effective treatments exist and things can get better. Most don't believe there’s hope.

For years, most suffer in silence, alone, without seeking help, support or treatment. For some, unfortunately, it becomes too much and they choose to end their life. 

What If?

What if they knew that they were not alone? What if they had heard stories of peers who experienced similar challenges, who overcame or effectively managed them. What if they didn’t feel shame, despair, hopelessness, embarrassment or fear. What if they had hope that effective treatments exist. What if they sought help?

Help us End Stigma, Prevent Suffering and Save Lives

Your donation will help our multifaceted #Change-The-Norm campaign targeted on addressing the root cause of the problem by focusing on early intervention; changing attitudes, beliefs and behaviors surrounding mental health to end stigma, promote engagement in help seeking behaviors and create hope. If you would like to learn more about how your donation will help this non-profit project click here.
