Give Mental Illness a Run for It!

The Scotiabank Charity Challenge unites the unbreakable spirit of runners and walkers with a unique fundraising program to help create a stronger future for young people and build vibrant communities.

In 2020, runners raised $3,340 at the Scotiabank Blue Nose Marathon for the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia.

There are multiple ways to participate in the Scotiabank Charity Challenge:

• REGISTER for the 5KM, 10KM, 15KM Half Marathon, Full Marathon, Marathon Team Relay, or Youth Run at this year’s Blue Nose Marathon and at the same time, sign up to fundraise for the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia with the the Scotiabank Charity Challenge

Help the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia in its mission to make a difference in the lives of Nova Scotians living with mental illness and addiction, and their loved ones while you achieve your mission to complete this race. As Scotiabank covers all the fees associated with online fundraising, 100% of the funds you raise will go directly to the Foundation’s efforts to increase financial support to mental health programs and services throughout Nova Scotia.
