“Sach In Motion” is a cross-Canada ultra-marathon run for mental health awareness. It’s an incredible initiative led by Sachin Latti, a former Canadian Border Services Agency Officer who has personally struggled with mental health challenges.
Here’s a breakdown of what “Sach In Motion” entails:
* The Mission: To raise awareness and funds for mental health support, particularly for Veterans, First Responders, and Emergency Personnel, as well as youth and men.
* The Challenge: Sachin Latti is running approximately 60-100 kilometers a day, aiming to cover around 7,500 kilometers across Canada over an anticipated 75-80 days. He aims to raise $1 million for various Canadian mental health charities.
* Community Engagement: Unlike a typical speed record attempt, “Sach In Motion” focuses on connection. Sachin runs into communities, slowing down to meet people, share stories, and create space for conversations around mental health.
* Inspiration: Sachin’s journey is one of trauma, recovery, and transformation. He hopes to inspire others to address their own mental health and break down the stigmas surrounding it.
* Impact: The funds raised support organizations like the Canadian Men’s Health Foundation, Together We Can, Their Opportunity, Wounded Warriors Canada, and Jack.org.
If you’re interested in following his journey or supporting the cause, you can:
* Follow “Sach In Motion” on social media (e.g., @sach.in.motion on Instagram).
* Visit the official “Sach In Motion” website (sachinmotion.ca) for more information and donation opportunities.
* If he’s running through your community, you can show up to encourage him or even run alongside him for a portion of the journey.
This initiative truly embodies the spirit of using physical endurance to inspire mental resilience and create positive social change.

Thursday pureose, Ball method

Here’s something that might spark your inspiration:
Consider Alice Augusta Ball, a brilliant African American chemist in the early 20th century. Despite facing both racial and gender barriers, she developed the “Ball Method,” a groundbreaking and remarkably effective treatment for leprosy. This method was the most successful treatment for decades.
Tragically, she died young at the age of 24, and her revolutionary work was almost lost to history when another chemist attempted to take credit for it. It took years for her contributions to be rightfully acknowledged.
Alice Ball’s story is a powerful reminder that profound impact can come from anyone, regardless of the obstacles they face. Her dedication to science and her determination to find a solution for a devastating disease, even in the face of significant adversity, is truly inspiring. It highlights the importance of perseverance, the potential for groundbreaking discoveries, and the ongoing need to recognize and celebrate the contributions of those who have been historically marginalized.

Observe, take note, translate, act.
