Artemis Marketing’s Charity Bikeathon: Pedalling for Mental Health Awareness

Bikeathon Blog Post

As we celebrate two decades of Artemis Marketing, we’re taking on a challenge that’s close to our hearts, to give back to the community that has supported us throughout our growth journey.

On the 10th of October 2024, between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, our team will be pushing our pedals to the limit in an 8-hour bikeathon to support The Woodpecker Project, a local charity dedicated to mental health awareness and training.

Why We’re Riding

This isn’t just about marking our 20th anniversary; it’s about making a difference. Recent experiences have brought home the critical importance of mental health support:

  • We’ve lost colleagues and friends to mental health challenges
  • The need for mental health first aid in professional environments is more pressing than ever
  • Our community needs increased awareness and resources for mental health support

The Woodpecker Project’s mission to train mental health first aiders in gyms and communities resonates deeply with us. By supporting them, we honour those we’ve lost and contribute to a healthier, more supportive community.

Our Challenge: 8 Hours of Non-Stop Pedalling

Our team is committed to keeping the wheels spinning for a full 8 hours. It’s a test of endurance, teamwork, and dedication, apropos for the ongoing effort needed to address mental health challenges.

Join Us in Making a Difference

As we pedal through this challenge, we’re not just celebrating our past 20 years. We’re looking forward to and committed to creating a future where mental health support is readily available and stigma-free.

Together, we can amplify The Woodpecker Project’s message and extend its reach. Let’s make this ride count for everyone struggling with mental health challenges. Remember: It’s okay not to be okay, and help is always available.
