‘Breaking the Silence’ walk and run goes virtual, province-wide
Breaking the Silence, a free annual walk and run for mental health awareness and education, is going virtual this year.
Now in its sixth year, the event is hosted by Edmonton-based Mental Health Foundation. Because of the pandemic, organizers decided to expand its scope.
Participants who are fundraising can choose to donate to the following agencies: CASA Foundation and Mental Health Foundation (Edmonton), The Alex (Calgary), Canadian Mental Health Association, Central Alberta Region (Red Deer), Some Other Solutions (Fort McMurray), or the Centre for Suicide Prevention.
Instead of a one-day event this year, the foundation will put on a week’s worth (June 20-27) of activities for participants to navigate through.
