Event Description

For May, Mental Health Awareness Month, Aardvark is embracing our core value of caring with a monthly movement challenge. Aardvark is proud to partner with a budding non-profit, TALK TO YOUR MATES, founded by our own Jon Notary. This challenge will be free for participation. With this monthly challenge, Aardvark Sports Shop is looking forward to assisting in funding the start of TALK TO YOUR MATES through the sale of co-branded merchandise and providing donation opportunities.

What is the TTYM Challenge 150 x 4? A challenge for the month of May in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month to exercise 150 minutes a week, at least 30 minutes teamed up with a partner.

Why? because engaging in 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity exercise can significantly improve mental health, potentially reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, while boosting mood, self-esteem, and overall well-being…and being side by side with someone invites conversation and encouragement.

TTYM Mission: TALK TO YOUR MATES exists to spark a men’s mental health movement, driven by candid conversations, accessible resources, and targeting funding for support services. Our core values are to Look Up…Team Up…and Open Up.
