2022 Get Your Mental Health in Motion
Over the last seven years, Get Your Mental Health in Motion has raised approximately $100,000 to support the well-being of patients and has encouraged our community to make their mental health a priority.
Being in nature and spending time outdoors does wonders for relieving anxiety and stress. The benefits of outdoor recreational time for mental health patients has proven to be a strong contributor to recovery.
This year's event is slated for Mental Health Week, May 2-8 and features a week of wellness, mindfulness, music and physical activity, wrapping up with virtual 5k fundraiser.
The funds raised will enhance accessibility and opportunities for therapeutic outdoor time at the hospital. The existing tennis court is in need of repair, with your help, we will resurface this space to create a multi-use sports court that will include pickle ball, basketball, and shuffle board. Having a space that provides so many different activities appeals to diverse interests, and offers a healthy boost to our patients’ immune systems, endorphin levels, sleep quality, social connection, and their overall well-being.
There is no registration fee to participate, just a minimum donation/pledge of $25/person and $75/family. Ask your friends and neighbours for pledges, make a personal donation, become a sponsor, support the amazing sponsors we already have on board, and recruit friends and family to participate.
Every dollar brings us closer to creating a dynamic outdoor space to help our patients regain their mental health, while supporting their physical health. Click here to register.
