Walking together for mental health
Now more than ever, we need to take action to take care of ourselves and one another. Join many other participants at one of our in-person walks throughout Canada!—see locations, dates and times above. If the locations and/or dates don't work for you, do a virtual walk!—choose your own date, time and place to walk as far as you set between May 13 and June 17. Walk alone or create a team and walk as a group!
75% of The Sashbear Foundation’s revenue is from donations—we are incredibly grateful for YOUR support. Donors and participants like you allow Sashbear to continue transforming lives.
