To Love a Canine Rescue (TLC) in partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence (BBBS) are hosting a 31 Mile Challenge in May to raise awareness for a number of great causes. Our mission is to stride towards mental wellness while nurturing compassion and support for our communities. To Love a Canine Rescue (TLC) was born from our passion for saving dogs while educating the community, but it's our profound ability to unite people through their mutual love for dogs that continues to drive us forward. Teaming up with Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence, a donor-supported organization that enriches, encourages, and empowers children to reach their highest potential through safe, one-to-one mentoring relationships, we aim to inspire resilience, cultivate empathy, and empower individuals to embark on a journey of self-care and community connection. By covering 31 miles over the course of the month, we symbolize the endurance required to overcome mental health challenges, and through our collective efforts, we strive to create a world where every individual feels seen, heard, and valued.
Join the Challenge to:
- Help us raise awareness for Mental Health
