A month has passed since the final walk of "Steps to Remember".

Thank you to all of the new followers, donors and those who joined me on portions of my walks.

Thank you especially to our sponsors, Baker Tilly, The Inked Ledger Inc. and Scratch Box Gastro Truck. Without your support, this year's events would not have been possible.

We are working on building on this year's success and if we can secure more sponsors and donors for 2027, we will be taking this to another level!

We originally intended on walking with Tattoos4Trauma in Cobourg this year but unfortunately, we aren't going to be able to make it. Hopefully, next year!

If you are in the Cobourg area, or are passing through on Saturday, please show your support for this awesome event!

This Saturday, September 12 is the Walk to End Su***de hosted by Tattoos4Trauma. This important walk raises mental health awareness, and builds a community and support system for those in need and/or impacted by su***de.

Thank you to T4T for organizing this event - We look forward to walking alongside you.

Funds raised will support Northumberland Hills Hospital Community Mental Health Services.

On The Road 4 Mental Health was founded in 2022, however, not officially named until 2023.

On January 20, 2026, our registration as an incorporated not-for-profit came through, coincidentally, on what would have been Aric's 30th birthday.

With a total of 566,626 steps in this year's events, I have now put in more than 1.6 million steps in the events. This doesn't include all of the training walks that I do.

In 2027, I will be surpassing the 2 million step mark!

If you would like to see one of the walks in your community, comment below.
