Welcome to the RACE4MentalHealth

The RACE4MentalHealth (R4MH) started with an idea I had to link exercise with mental health. It is such a natural fit and anybody who has exercised regularly knows how good it feels when you participate in a healthy, active lifestyle.

Over the past few months, with the support of the Cape Breton Mental Health Foundation and some friends, the RACE4MentalHealth has become a reality.

The goals of the RACE4MentalHealth initiative are to increase awareness of the benefits of exercise to our mental health, decrease the stigma associated with mental health, and to raise financial support for mental health initiatives through exercise.

Did you know that 1 in 5 of us will experience a mental illness directly and that those who do not will know someone who does?

If you would like to support the RACE4MentalHealth initiative you could join the R4MH team or make a donation to one of the charities by sponsoring a member of the team.

Thank you for taking the time to visit the R4MH website. In whatever way you choose to support this initiative you will be helping.

Yours Sincerely
Jason & The R4MH Team (Leona, Marcia, Mary, and Genevieve)
