Mental Health Awareness Month: New York Road Runners Invites You to Move and “Win the Day”
"May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and I’m inviting every New Yorker—regardless of age, ability or pace—to join me, whether that’s running, walking, or something in between. Millions of Americans experience mental health challenges and there’s a good chance running can help. Exercise boosts endorphins and self-esteem. Not only that, but the CDC estimates adults can lower their risk of depression by up to 20 percent through exercise."
