5K Challenge for Mental Health

As an ex-collegiate athlete who had her own mental health struggles, this project and fundraiser is close to my heart.

 

We’re extending the mental health conversation well beyond Mental Health Awareness Month. During the month of June, with the support of and collaboration of Rhone , I will be tackling a 5K every day to raise funds for The Hidden Opponent . We’re calling it the 5K Challenge for Mental Health.

 

While one can make a significant impact alone, we can make an even greater impact when we unite. Members of the Rhone team have committed to run (walk, bike or row) their own 5K this month, and we’re challenging you to do the same.

 

Commit to tackling your own 5K (or more!) during the month of June and if you can, I encourage you to make a donation of any amount (every penny counts!). Every single dollar raised will go directly to The Hidden Opponent to support their work and their mission.

 

Together, we can take strides to not only change the stigma around mental health in sport but to support collegiate athletes everywhere–mind, body and soul.

 

Don't forget to join our 5K Challenge for Mental Health Strave Run Club  for accountability and community! Read my full story here and get more details about the project.
