Run for Change
A community coming together to support mental health, connection, and change.
More than a run — it’s a movement.
What is Run for Change?
Run for Change is an annual charity event hosted by Strong Minds to raise awareness for mental health and addictions. 100% of donations and sponsorships raised go back to the Sault Ste. Marie community to support mental health initiatives.
Why it matters
Mental health affects everyone, and too many people face it alone. Run for Change is about reducing stigma, creating connection, and reminding people that support is always within reach.
