Mental Health and Substance Abuse challenges are causes near and dear to me. It is more common than you think, at least 1 in 5 Americans suffer from mental illness at some point in their life. I am proud to have pivoted my career to be devoted to improving these challenges and supporting providers and support workers who aid people who are struggling in their recovery. I am also an example of a success story – I have struggled with my mental health; treatment is available and IT DOES GET BETTER.
I chose to join a hike with HIKE for Mental Health to help stamp out the stigma of mental illness, to support organizations that provide mental health care, and conserve wilderness trails. What better place to hike for mental health than my favorite mountain range – the White Mountains of New Hampshire! Stoked to check off another 4000 footer for this cause.
In lieu of collection donations for my birthday this year through a Facebook campaign, would you consider making a donation, leaving a message, or sharing this page? You can also join the cause and hike with us! Thank you!
1 in 4 families is affected by mental illness.
HIKE for Mental Health is a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded on the vision of a world in which everyone, including those who suffer mental illness, can find the simple joy of living.
Our mission is to alleviate the suffering of those afflicted by mental illness, eliminate the associated stigma, and foster responsible use of wilderness trails.
As an all-volunteer organization, we distribute 100% of contributions raised by our hikes.
- 80% funds scientific research to understand and treat mental illness
- 20% conserves national wilderness trails
Your donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by the IRS. Thank you for your support.
