During the 6th annual Taking Stigma to the Trash run, Junel Malapad has set a goal to run 100 kms. to raise funds and awareness about mental health and the stigma that can be associated with mental illness.
Taking Stigma to the Trash started with Junel Malapad and began in light of a personal connection to mental health tragedies in the community. This event grows every year and is now a community initiative involving multiple runners working together to #TrashStigma for mental health. Due to COVID-19, this year’s event will be a little different. We will be having a virtual run and a livestream of Junel as he powers through his goal. Please follow CMHA Manitoba and Winnipeg on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/CMHAmbwpg/ as we live stream Taking Stigma to the Trash on Friday, June 26, 2020 starting at 4:00 a.m.
Proceeds raised in Taking Stigma to the Trash will go directly to fund school-based mental illness literacy and stigma reduction programming in schools and post-secondary institutions, and programs for youth transitioning out of the child welfare system.
