Milestones are usually seen as large-scale, life-changing events. For some, this may be graduating high school or getting a promotion at work. For those of us who struggle with mental health challenges (at least 1 in 5 Americans), connecting with others, starting a new routine, or even just getting out of bed may indicate a milestone is reached. These "Mini-Milestones" are meaningful, powerful, and symbolic of creating positive change in our lives.
Compeer Friends make Mini-Milestones happen every day.
Compeer helps people find mental wellness through human connection--a movement that began in Rochester in 1973 that carries on worldwide today! Join this movement, support our mission, and stay active as we head into a chilly season in Walk a Milestone, our 3rd annual hybrid fundraiser. You can walk, run, bike, or engage in any other healthy physical activity to participate. You can join or create a team, go solo, donate, shop our online silent auction, or just spread the word. The most important thing is that we experience forward motion, together.
Your participation will help people thrive through the most challenging era in modern history. No one should walk through life alone, especially right now. We all deserve a friend we can count on, and your support will help create and sustain more Compeer friendships, meaning new Mini-Milestones are made each day.
So, set your goal and face the cold!
