Running for Mental Health: Kyle's Journey

0:00Lester's stories, making news on March 16th, Kyle Schuler, an operations manager at Amazon Center and Hinkley hit a rough patch last year with his mental health and personal struggles. He felt stuck at home and depressed until he turned to running, which brought real change and happiness. Friends Conner and Will joined him for a daily challenge, running 5 kilometers every day through February. They set up a group chat to share workouts, set goals, and keep each other accountable, running a short effort into months of steady progress. The group raised more than 1,500 pounds for the Suicide Prevention Charity and his manclub. Kyle dropped nearly 20 kilograms and says fitness, friendship, and support made him a much happier person. He picked the charity to help men without strong networks around them, hoping to spark conversations and prevent heartbreak for families. Many people struggle silently and he wants to change that. Kyle's boss at Amazon praised his inspiring commitment to men's mental health, with the whole team cheering him on every step.
