Event Description

In celebration of Erik's life, we invite you to run or walk with us to raise money for mental health awareness.

Erik was a smart, funny, atheltic young man who struggled with depression and a recent diagnosis of Bipolar disorder. In Erik's memory, his family has partnered with Project Healthy Minds whose mission is to encourage discussion about our mental health. We are supporting a movement aimed at changing attitudes about mental health as well as bridging the gap between people seeking help and care providers.

Your contribution will help us confront the mental health crisis by supporting Project Healthy Minds' efforts to:

  • Reduce the stigma around mental health
  • Build technology that makes it easier to discover the right help
  • Expand access to care

If you wish to learn more about our cause, you can visit the Project Healthy Minds website: https://www.projecthealthyminds.com/
