Mental Health in Motion, Walk and Run

Thank You to Our Sponsors

The 2026 Mental Health in Motion fundraiser was a tremendous success, raising nearly $30,000 to support Waypoint’s Community Mental Health Programs.

Proceeds help expand access to care and resources in key areas, including:

Child, youth and family mental health
Addictions recovery
Indigenous mental health
2SLGBTQIA+ mental health

The generosity of event sponsors represents a meaningful commitment to improving the lives of people living with mental illness and addiction.

Together, we are expanding access to care, building capacity, advancing research and treatment, and creating a stronger mental health system for people of all ages.

Thank you to the sponsors whose support helped make Mental Health in Motion possible.

Carrying the Weight of Mental Health

At this year’s Mental Health in Motion, Jamie MacNeil, Chief of the Penetanguishene Fire Department, took on a powerful challenge: walking in full bunker gear.

For Jamie, the message was simple: mental health affects everyone. It touches families, friends, colleagues and communities. As a leader in the fire service, Jamie recognized an opportunity to use his platform to start conversations and challenge stigma.

Weighing up to 80 pounds, bunker gear made the physical burden visible. The challenge offered a powerful reminder that the weight of mental illness is often invisible, carried silently by people every day.

By taking on the challenge, Jamie helped shine a light on those who may be struggling in silence and shared an important message: no one has to carry the weight alone.

His participation helped bring the community together to raise awareness, spark conversations and support mental health.
