A mother who took the pain from the loss of a child and converted into energy helping other people LIVE

My name is Bonnie Bricker and until 2015 I was just chugging along trying to do the best for my family. All that changed when our son, Reid Bricker, slipped through the fingers of the mental health care system and disappeared into the night, passing away in a hopeless lonely way. Reid had lost hope, his magic dimmed, his fight too painful.

This was the end for our son and yet a beginning for me, an opportunity to help people get the help they need. From the darkest sorrow of my life came a light at the end of the tunnel, a way for me to try to adapt to my new reality. What followed was a fight to make changes that positively impacted our mental health care in Manitoba, but what surprised me was that all over the world people were tapping into the endless media coverage I was participating in. No other disease on the planet earth can state that 100% of the world’s population will have some contact with mental illness.

My niece, the dynamo, Brenley Cunningham is giving us the chance to stand up for equality. Ending the stigma of all judgmental issues about how we are perceived by ourselves and the world around us. Together we are challenging you to make magic happen, with sparkles and unicorns and dreams that can come true. To live your best self, peacefully, in wellness. Hope begins with you…and we want to send it around the world!

FROM BRENLEY: 

“As we navigate the tumultuous seas of existence, we must never underestimate the profound significance of mental health. Just as our physical bodies require care and attention, our minds deserve nurturing and support. They are the essence of our being, the source of our dreams and aspirations.

This month we set sea on an extraordinary journey for mental health May- releasing products and programs to uplift and empower those facing mental health adversities or have people in their lives they want to support.

This month marks DripFit’s 7th year anniversary and this year is the 9th year anniversary of my cousins passing. He was an inspiration to this campaign and a greater understanding THIS NEEDS TO BE OUR GOAL, OUR FOCUS.

I invite you to be a part of this initiative. Whether you choose to amplify the message, dive into our transformative programs, or simply share your story, your involvement holds the power to ignite a revolution of change. 🌟

💙 Because within the depths of our hearts, we recognize the universal need for it. Let us raise our voices in unison, shedding light on the shadows that shroud mental health. Together, let us cultivate a world where the well-being of our minds takes precedence, where compassion and understanding weave the tapestry of our existence. 💙

Stay tuned for updates, resources, and opportunities to immerse yourself in this extraordinary movement. Together, hand in hand, we possess the ability to make a profound impact on the lives of countless souls.
