Still smiling from Saturday. 💚

The first annual Stomp the Stigma 5K was such an amazing day from start to finish. The energy, the people, the music, the laughter, the conversations… it all came together so beautifully.

Seeing our community show up for mental health awareness in such a big way honestly meant everything.

This video captures just a little bit of the fun, connection, and love that filled the day.

Thank you to everyone who ran, walked, volunteered, sponsored, danced, supported, and showed up. Y’all helped make this event something really special.

And this is only the beginning. 👟💚

WOW! What a day!
My heart is incredibly full after experiencing the first annual Stomp the Stigma 5K.

What we witnessed was more than a race. It was a community showing up for mental health awareness, healing, hope, and one another.

To every participant, volunteer, sponsor, vendor, speaker, performer, supporter, and family member — thank you. Thank you for believing in this vision and helping us create something so meaningful for our community.

Seeing people of all ages come together to support conversations around mental health was truly moving. Every step taken, every encouraging word spoken, and every person who showed up helped make an impact.

A very special thank you to Brandon Mack for using his platform and voice to support this movement and encourage our community.

I am deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this event possible. This was only Year One, and I already know this movement will continue to grow.

With gratitude,
— Michelle 💚

We’re almost there.

In just 2 days, our community will gather to run, walk, move, and stand together for mental health awareness. This event was created to remind people of one powerful truth:

You do not have to struggle in silence.

Whether you’re participating for yourself, your family, a friend, or someone you’ve lost—we honor every story that brought you here.

Thank you for helping us create space for healing, conversation, and community.

Saturday is bigger than a race.

It’s a reminder that healing happens together.

A little pause from all the 5K excitement to celebrate someone truly special 💜

Today, we’re celebrating Matilyn and the warmth, compassion, and encouragement she brings to Grace for Healing every single day. Help us wish her a very happy birthday and a year filled with joy, peace, and abundant blessings!

Only 3 days until we come together to move for something bigger than ourselves.

Every registration… Every conversation… Every step taken…
helps break the stigma surrounding mental health.

This Saturday, we won’t just cross a finish line.
We’ll stand together as a community choosing awareness, healing, and hope.

Thank you to everyone who has registered, supported, volunteered, sponsored, shared a post, or simply helped spread the message.

The movement is here.
And we cannot wait to see you there.

This is bigger than football.

This is bigger than a 5K.

Mental health impacts athletes, students, families, leaders, and communities every single day-and conversations like these matter.
We're honored to welcome University of Houston Linebacker and Mental Health Advocate, Brandon Mack, as the keynote speaker for this year's Stomp the Stigma 5K.

Brandon is using his platform to help break the silence surrounding mental health and remind people that strength isn't found in suffering alone. It’s found in speaking up, healing, and showing up for one another.

Join us on May 16 as we run, walk, move, and unite for mental health awareness.

Because this is more than an event.

It's a movement.
