Welcome
Our Initiative:
We're a family Knocking Stigma out of the Park in memory of our amazing Mark who lost his mental health battle to suicide.
As a family we have committed to placing one glove a month somewhere around the world. Our hopes are that the recipient of these gloves visit our website or social media pages and share their story and read the stories of others.
Through communication and sharing we will bring awareness to mental health and end the stigma that comes with it.
It's okay, not to be okay!

Gloves PLACED
We've placed 224 gloves around the world since 10 August 2019 when Hunter and Maci (Mark's children) placed the first glove! They placed the glove in Bancroft ON, at the local Foodland. They decided it needed to be placed near the popcorn as that was their Dad's favourite snack.
