🌧️ Rain, hail or shine — we’re walking for mental health. 💙💚💙

Our team will be pulling on the raincoats, grabbing the umbrellas and heading out for a very important cause supporting Lets Talk Colac.

Mental health doesn’t take a day off when the weather turns bad and a little rain won’t stop our team.

If you can, please support our team with a donation. Every dollar reminds those who are struggling that they don’t have to weather the storm alone. 💚💙🧡
