June Was a very special month. For the first time in my life I decided to use my platform to shine light on an issue that is important to me, Mental Health. Raising Awareness towards Mental Health and Embarking on a 5K Everyday has taught me so much about myself, but has also allowed me to open doors for people who once felt alone. Mental Health is a serious issue, and just because it can’t be seen doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. 

Was this a perfect journey? 

Far from it. Running is never an easy task. 

Some days I ran alone 
Some days I ran with a group 
Some days I struggled 
Some days I overcame 
Some days I ran at sunrise 
Some days I ran at night 
Some days I ran in the rain 
Some days I ran on the beach 
Some days I had to run inside cause of WildFires (NYC)
Some days I Row’d
Some days I walked 
Some days I Ran with music 
Some days I ran with just my thoughts

I grew out the mustache 👨🏻

All this to inspire others to come out and talk about their own struggles. We all go through it, you’re not alone!

My heart is full with the response. By coming on here everyday and being vulnerable about my struggles and what I go through. It Has paved the way for some of you to finally reach out and I’m always more than happy to be there for you. 

My hope is that it has inspired you to be the person in your community/ circle to open up the conversations to check-in on family members, friends, and of course yourself. 

Thank you to everyone that donated and ran with me in June.

If you want to see more of this journey in detail I’ve highlighted everyday in the highlights section of my stories. 

Stay tuned for July where we embark on yet another Fitness Challenge. 

You can now keep up with me on YouTube and via my Newsletter for all my latest tips, challenges, and overall fun and entertaining content. 

Link is in my bio 

I Look forward to seeing you guys over there
