With the recent loss of a friend and Colleague, I’m heading out on Monday to participate in the #hikeOctober for mental health awareness. I will be setting out for 20 miles on the Appalachian trail.
1 in 4 families is affected by mental illness.
I chose to join #hikeOctober to raise awareness of the challenges of mental illness, fund mental health research and conserve wilderness trails with our #hikeOctober campaign.
