The mission of our run is to promote a healthy body and a healthy mind. Nicotine addiction traps the brain and increases mental health issues, and tobacco companies disproportionally target certain minority groups, creating a disparity in those who are affected by tobacco ailments. Running and walking are great coping skills to help reduce stress and combat nicotine cravings. Plus, it frees the air of secondhand vape and smoke. We hope you can join us in this 5k run to reduce nicotine use and increase mental health awareness.
