Mental Health For Men Marathon and Running Event is LIVE!


Runners! We Are LIVE!

Thank you for your support so far! We have raised $345 out of our $1,000 goal!

Thank you for supporting the Mental Health 4 Men Marathon & Running Event. Today’s the day your miles actually matter.

Blake and I are already on the road—6.2 miles into the marathon and heading toward Jackson, Mississippi. We've checked off Florida and Alabama so far.

Now it’s your turn.

What to do today
Run your chosen distance: 5K, 10K, Half, or Full—outdoors only for the 10K race division (no treadmills).
When you finish, send me a photo of your final time (watch, app, or Strava screenshot works - just reply to this email).
Want to compete? Run as many 10Ks as you want between now and the end of the event. Fastest time wins the prize pool.

How to support the cause
Donate to the Kansas Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence via our GoFundMe.
Submit the optional $20 entry fee via Venmo: @Zachary-Werhan (this goes straight into the prize pool).
Share your run on social media, tag mentalhealth4men.com, and use #mentalhealth4men so I can see it and reshare.

Marathon runners
Complete the full 26.2 miles and we’ll send you a free race T-shirt as a thank-you.

Lace up, get outside, and send it.

Grateful you’re part of this,


Zach

Newsletter Topic: Why New years resolutions don't make it out of January Hello all, and welcome to 2026! For the past 7 years, my wife and I take a small weekend retreat to ring in the new year. I'll be honest the purpose of this is to set new years goals/resolutions. I bring a whiteboard (yes—I know how over the top that is), we try to go to a couple nice dinners, and talk through vision: for our family, the year ahead, faith, finances, and the stuff that actually shapes the day to day. That...
