I’m so excited to have the opportunity to participate in this year’s Fifty2 End Stigma challenge again! 

People often ask me, “why?” … “Why is this challenge so important to you?” 

This is one of my favorite questions to answer. The mental health crisis in this country and across the world is alarming. If that seems too large to tackle, think about your friends, family, colleagues… I’m sure you can identity someone in your life who is battling with their mental health. I use the world “battling” purposefully. Facing mental health issues is a BATTLE that we chose to fight. It’s not easy or glamorous… and it can feel lonely. I’m here to tell you that if you’re struggling with your mental health… not only are you NOT alone, but you’re a warrior fighting a battle that you’re courageous enough to face. 

Join me in participating in the Fifty2 End Stigma challenge this year to help raise awareness and funds. YOU can (and will) make a difference. 

Luciano and I are back at it! We’re so excited for another year of the Fifty2 End Stigma campaign. Mental health is just as important as ever. Let’s use this opportunity to move, talk, thrive - together. No one is alone in their mental health journey. And yes, we’re ALL on a journey. Join us as we gear up to raise awareness, support each other and end the damn stigma!
