A huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated and helped support the McGill Team at the Mount Afton Challenge this morning! This is a running, walking and rucking event that supports Mental Health and Su***de Prevention Services. McGill had strong and relentless presence despite the cold and rain! Our team of 5 spent the entire two continuous hours on the move around the course, while other church members helped man a booth welcoming participants, sharing information about our church, and passing out tissue packs and McGill mugs! We also helped contribute electrolyte drink packets and flyers in the race bags handed out. It was a great way to stay connected to the community and help build new relationships!
