🗣 "Keep moving forward!" 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ 👇🏼👇🏼

Life comes hard sometimes...
⛰️ There will be hills in the middle of your path...it isn't easy getting up and over it but know it won't be hard forever.

😴 There will be longer runs and miles ahead, taking breaks helps, going with a friend makes it easier.

📢 There is no doubt that there will be days that challenge you and affect your mental and physical health

🚫 "Keep moving forward" does NOT mean push through pain and go until you break.

💙 Sometimes moving forward means slowing down, getting support/not going through hard seasons alone, and having the mindset that it won't always be this way and things will get better.

💚 Join us May 17th for our 5K, fun run, and community festival. Create awareness. Make a difference.
Build community, find resources, and enjoy the day celebrating with us, because you matter and so does your mental health 👏🏻🎉👟

💚🐾 Mental Health Matters Ambassadors at Zoomey Toomey Run Club at CMPD Animal Shelter this morning to help exercise the pups!

💚 Dogs help support our mental health as many animals do and these pups awaiting their furever home also need support: walking/running them helps them release pent up energy, stress, and anxiety.

🐶 👟 🎉 Reminder Mental Health Matters 5k & Festival is dog friendly! Zoomey Toomey will be there with a tent as well with pup cups for all the pups! And some available dogs for adoption that day.

Anyone is welcome to volunteer and help out!
💚 They meet every Sunday!!
🐾👟 If interested please see details and follow for more information!
