You Asked, We Answered
Your questions about the campaign, its impact, and how to get involved.
About the Campaign
Why did you start this campaign?
To bring visibility and structure to a problem too often ignored: the mental health of entrepreneurs. As a founder and coach, Edouard has experienced these challenges firsthand and created this initiative to drive concrete change.
What was the fundraising goal?
$2,500 to support mental health services specifically for entrepreneurs through Relief's dedicated program.
Why a running challenge?
Running has helped Edouard reconnect with himself and others. It's a powerful way to raise awareness, get moving, and spark community action.
Impact & Funds
Where did the funds go?
All proceeds from the campaign were donated to Relief – The path to mental health, a nonprofit organization that supports individuals living with anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder. In accordance with Relief's donation policy, these funds will support its broader mental health mission — including access to tools, information, and services that also benefit entrepreneurs.
The initial goal of the campaign was to contribute to maintaining a subsidized support service for entrepreneurs, such as the one previously offered through the Quebec Government's support.
How do you ensure transparency?
We maintain open communication about fund allocation and impact through regular updates and partner reporting.
What was the reach of the campaign?
The campaign reached over 5,000 people through the race event, social media, and partner networks.
Was Relief involved in defining how the funds would be used?
Relief has clear policies that govern how donations are allocated. While the campaign's intention was to support a subsidized mental health service for entrepreneurs, all funds are directed toward Relief's overall mission in mental health support. This includes programming that can indirectly benefit entrepreneurs but is not earmarked for a specific service.
