From DGE Collyer Smith: Get Ready for this Year’s Mile-a-Day Marathon Challenge

Well, how about this weather? Are you feeling cooped up, not at all motivated to exercise? Had enough Zoom meetings to last your entire lifetime??
Are you ready to enjoy, and embrace, why we live here? Then,,, let’s get outdoors, just for the fun of it, because,,,,,
Last fall, our Mile A Day: E-Race the Stigma on Mental Health was a huge success- with over 1100 participants! Our social media videos that shared the mission and values of several of our mental health organizations reached many thousands more!
With the support of Rotary District 6380, we are back with answers to the aforementioned questions. Whether you want to run a marathon, or half, or like me, walk a mile a day (with your dog, with your kids, with your grandkids stuck on the couch playing video games all day long) let’s get out and embrace this winter, and upcoming spring, not only for sheer enjoyment, but for a great cause!
I am pleased that in addition to the mental health organizations we partnered with last fall, the Amber Renick House will join us. The Amber Reineck House is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, committed to cultivating hope in each person they serve by embracing a community of acceptance and compassion; providing housing and educational resources for those impacted by Substance Use Disorder. For more information: https://www.amberreineckhouse.org/about.html#/ -We will soon have the Amber Renick House on the Epic website.

We hope you will join us on our second: Mile A Day: E-Race the Stigma March 21- April 17th.
