Exercise, especially through movement of any kind supports my personal wellness. In 2018, I suffered a cardiac arrest (the widow maker) while participating in my favorite movement of all time playing competitive basketball and spent 5 days in a comma. While this was a scary experience, it reaffirmed my love for sports, movement and reminded me of the importance movement has in my mental health and wellness. I’m fundraising to support the Copeland Center for Wellness and Recovery who partners with other organizations to get people to move and or exercise to support wellness. The proceeds of this fundraiser will support mental health education and awareness, scholarship opportunities for underserved communities to attend trainings and other movement events. Thank you for your consideration.
