5K Community Walk for Mental Health

5K Community Walk for Mental Health

Join us for our 5K Community Walk for Mental Health, a meaningful event in support of Canadian Mental Health Association – Windsor-Essex, Sea to Sea for PTSD, and Helping Our Heroes. This walk will bring people together to raise awareness and funds for veterans, first responders, and others affected by PTSD and trauma.

Leading the way is Canadian veteran and mental health advocate Chad Kennedy—who has been walking across Canada to share his story and promote healing. The event highlights the importance of connection, conversation, and community support. Participants of all ages and fitness levels are invited to walk, show their support, and help make a difference for those who have served and sacrificed.

The event is proudly supported by Canadian Mental Health Association – Windsor-Essex, which provides vital mental health programs, advocacy, and community resources. Their involvement underscores the importance of accessible mental health support and the role communities play in fostering resilience and recovery.

Proceeds from the event contribute to initiatives that provide critical support, including service dogs and other resources for individuals struggling with the effects of trauma. After the event, come back to the Legion for a mental health information hall to learn more about resources in our community. For full event details and pledging information, visit our website. Come out, get active, and stand alongside our heroes—because no one should have to walk their journey alone.
